It is Daniel Craig’s fifth and final film as the infamous 007 agent.

Activision then held the license throughout most of the Daniel Craig run as Bond, from 2006-2013. The publisher announced a Casino Royale game that never came to fruition. After a Game Boy game called James Bond 007, Electronic Arts took over for Nintendo for the next six years.ĮA launched several Bond titles during its time with the license, such as 2001’s Agent Under Fire, 2002’s Nightfire, and 2004’s Everything or Nothing.

Hitman 3 is up over Hitman 2 sales wise, but I still don't know that it's profitable enough for them to remain independent, especially if this game is going to be a larger scale project, with a lot more engine upgrades required, and maybe resources thrown at it, than the Hitman games.

To me it makes more sense to start working on the game, start targeting platforms, see how it runs, and then nail down which platforms it's going to be ready to release on day one, and then announce platforms, as opposed to figuring out the platforms first and having to design around platforms that may not be relevant in 3 years time or whenever this is releasing.Īgain, you're probably right though. The game that they have probably barely started concepting at this point. IO Interactive has opened a new studio in Barcelona that will help develop the studios current projects.
