Activision have announced a new 007 game which will be released in the later part of 2012 and will not tie-in to any one particular film, but will be an amalgamation of moments throughout James Bond’s history.
Titled ‘007 Legends’, the game will feature an overarching storyline which links up pivotal missions and events from the films, meeting up and concluding with the 23rd film scheduled for later this year, Skyfall.
In traditional James Bond fashion, players will be geared up with state-of-the-art gadgets, vehicles and weapons in order to take on the movies’ most notorious bad guys from the series in the most dynamic 007 experience to date.
“Creating a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging” said David Oxford, Executive VP at Activision Publishing. “But together with EON Productions, our developer Eurocom, has pulled it off to create an homage that we think will be a unique and highly entertaining Bond video game.”
To complement the single-player campaign, 007 Legends will feature the return of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded’s Mi6 Ops Missions, this time allowing virtual agents to also relive the special assignments through the perspective of Bond’s enemies. Four-player-split-screen and online multiplayer modes will also be included.
007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom, which handled development duties for 2011’s GoldenEye 007: Reloaded. The studio also worked on Goldeneye 007 for Wii in 2010 and 2002’s James Bond 007: Nightfire.
