Amazon Says It’s Too Early for Future 007 Games
Amazon has made a new announcement that has fueled curiosity about the future of James Bond games. Following the strong launch of 007 First Light, expectations for a sequel have risen, with players particularly curious about IO Interactive’s role in future projects. While Amazon confirms that MGM owns the rights, the latest announcement suggests the company is still too early to discuss new Bond games.
The Connection Between Amazon and IO Interactive Continues
007 First Light has achieved great success in a short time. It’s reported that the game sold over 1.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, naturally raising expectations for a sequel. IO Interactive, known for the Hitman series, fitting well into the Bond world has led players to want to see the same team in the future.
However, previous statements from Amazon had been interpreted as suggesting that future 007 games could be developed by MGM and, theoretically, Amazon Game Studios. This raised concerns that IO Interactive might be sidelined in future projects. Especially after the positive reception of First Light, such a possibility was not well-received among Bond fans.
In its latest statement, Amazon MGM confirmed that they hold the rights to future James Bond games, but that it’s too early to discuss new projects. The company also stated that they have a great relationship with IO Interactive and are proud of the work they did together on 007 First Light. This statement may somewhat alleviate concerns that IO will be completely left out.
For now, the picture is still unclear. It seems possible that Amazon will take a more active role in publishing in the future, while IO Interactive will continue the development process. However, it’s not accurate to speak definitively before an official announcement. Given the success of 007 First Light, it wouldn’t be surprising if significant discussions about James Bond games are taking place behind the scenes.
