We already brought you the slightly odd news that the N64 classic Goldeneye was undergoing a remake for the Wii, retrofitted to star Daniel Craig instead of Pierce Brosnan. Now, recently live online, is the trailer for the next Bond game proper: Activision's James Bond 007: Blood Stone.
The game has been written by Bruce Feirstein, who penned Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough. Craig will again star in pixellated form, along with Judi Dench as M, and Joss Stone, who seems to be quite heavily involved, providing the music as well as taking a role as a Bond girl. Blood Stone: do you see?
According to the press release, it's an "explosive third-person action adventure where players will unravel an international conspiracy across exotic locales [with] full-throttle, behind-the-wheel action on land and sea, and the most high tech gadgetry known to James Bond 007, the world's most skilled secret agent."
Judging by the trailer it's going to be very similar to Activision's previous Quantum of Solace game, which was... okay. Also judging by the trailer, the game will have Quantum's car chase in it, and will be shooty and explodey. Which is basically what we want. That and an Aston Martin.
The game's out on all the usual formats in time for Christmas. Bond fans not remotely interested in gaming can take heart from the fact that there's a new novel on the way, and that reports of Bond 23's death have been greatly exaggerated...
