Shocking James Bond Changes Announced, Could Influence Future Games
The James Bond series is undergoing a massive change
A number of companies have made James Bond video games over the years. One of the most memorable and iconic James Bond games was Rare's 1997 GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64. Electronic Arts made James Bond games, too, including Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, and Rogue Agent. Activison took over for a period of time, publishing titles like Quantum of Solace and Blood Stone. There hasn't been a new James Bond game for console since 2012's 007 Legends, though Cypher 007 came out for mobile in 2023.
Wilson said he plans to "focus on art and charitable projects," while Broccoli said she will focus on "my other projects."
Amazon bought MGM in 2002, and since then, it has owned the distibrution rights to the James Bond movies. There hasn't been a new James Bond movie since then, however, with 2021's No Time To Die being the most recent entry in the series.
Given this big shakeup, no one should expect the next James Bond movie anytime soon. Deadline reported that "no decisions have been made on the future Bond films including who will star, direct or write the next film."
Amazon MGM Studios taking over full creative control of the series could pave the way for a decision about the franchise's future to be made more easily. With Broccoli and Wilson no longer getting to decide the future of the series, many are wondering (and worrying) how this could all shake out.
