This holiday season, gamers will have the chance to play an all-new James Bond experience, Activision Publishing announced Friday. Penned by Goldeneye screenwriter Bruce Feirstein, James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a third-person shooter, featuring the likeness and voice talent of Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and leading Bond girl Joss Stone.
Activision Publishing’s Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties David Pokress said in Friday’s press release:
“James Bond 007: Blood Stone captures the cinematic intensity of a Bond film by immersing players in an intriguing conspiracy that will require them to think and act like James Bond. In addition, the game will feature a diverse array of multi-player modes and debut strategic objective-based gameplay that will allow Xbox 360, PS3 and PC players to battle as teams of spies and mercenaries through authentic Bond locales.”
Players will experience cover-based firefights, hand-to-hand combat, driving sequences and more as they embark on a global chase across land and sea from Athens to Bangkok. Blood Stone will also feature a 16-person multiplayer mode where spies battle mercenaries.
Developed by Bizarre Creations, James Bond 007: Blood Stone will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this holiday season. An original DS game by n-Space is also under development.
