New James Bond GAME Coming: 007 Legends

Activision have today announced a new James Bond game allowing gamers to relive some of Bond’s most iconic and intense undercover missions from the film franchise in 007 Legends.

007 Legends is to feature a brand new storyline tying together six classic Bond movies, concluding with this year’s 23rd installment, Skyfall.

The game promises state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons, including Bond’s signature Walther PPK, and sleek vehicles plus, and the chance to mingle with gorgeous Bond women - in the style of God of War 3? Who knows?

“To honour 50 years of the world’s top secret agent, 007 Legends offers a collection of his most famed moments in the smartest and most treacherous Bond game yet,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision. “Creating a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging, 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.”

In addition to 007 Legends’ main story, the game will feature the return of the single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which first appeared in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online leader board scores.

Players will also be able to participate as one of Bond’s cohorts or villainous foes, reliving the missions through their eyes, as well as 007’s.

Multiplayer is also included with support for local four-player split-screen and online, with new maps, gadgets, weapons and characters derived from Bond’s 50 year legacy. It’s this we’re most excited about as it will be great to see how they can build on the already classic Goldeneye formula with a brand new Bond game.

007 Legends Is due out in the Autumn on Sony PS3 and Xbox 360. We’ll watch this one closely.
