007 Legends[2] is an upcoming action-adventure video game that is currently being developed by Eurocom for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360,[2] and is due to be released in October 2012.[1]
Development
The game, which is being developed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the James Bond film franchise[3] will incorporate the stories of six Bond films, retelling them with an over-arching narrative that ties them together.[3] At the official announcement of the game on 18 April 2012, publisher Activision did not comment on which films would be remade in the game, but admitted that the upcoming Skyfall will serve as the final portion of the game.[4]
The first official trailer, released on 21 May 2012, revealed the opening mission in the game to be based on the film Moonraker.[5] Daniel Craig will voice Bond throughout the game, the single player will also feature an XP and leveling system.[6]
On 28 June 2012, it was revealed that the second mission in the game will be based on the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Acclaimed spy film writer, Bruce Feirstein, who wrote three films and four games in the James Bond universe, also wrote the screenplay along with Rob Matthews, who specially works for Eurocom.
