Last week, Amazon gaming general manager Jeff Gattis rather put the cat amongst the pigeons when talking about James Bond’s future in games now IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is out. He was cited by Polygon as having said that, since they’ll be happening post-Amazon’s acquisition of the full Bond rights, any follow-up would be “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios”.
When asked about Gattis’ comments, Amazon were quick to declare that it’s “still too early to discuss future projects”. Now, Gattis himself has claimed that he never confirmed Amazon Game Studios would be publishing the next Bond game, while once again not setting in stone whether IO Interactive will be returning as its developers.
It’s interesting to see Amazon Game Studios dive into the world of gaming with such a popular franchise. The anticipation for the 007 First Light sequels is certainly building. Looking forward to seeing how they approach this project!
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how a major player like Amazon is entering the gaming scene, especially with a franchise as iconic as James Bond. This could potentially lead to innovative gameplay and storytelling that fans have been craving. It’ll be intriguing to see how they balance the legacy of the franchise with fresh ideas.
