**The Future of James Bond in Gaming: Insights from Amazon’s Jeff Gattis**<\/p>\n

Last week, Jeff Gattis, the general manager of Amazon Gaming, stirred the pot regarding the future of the James Bond franchise in video games following the release of IO Interactive’s “007 First Light.” According to Polygon, Gattis mentioned that any subsequent Bond games would be produced in partnership with MGM and potentially involve Amazon Game Studios, especially after Amazon’s acquisition of full Bond rights.<\/p>\n

When questioned about Gattis’ remarks, Amazon quickly clarified that it is “still too early to discuss future projects.” Gattis himself later stated that he did not confirm Amazon Game Studios would be the publisher for the next Bond title, nor did he definitively indicate that IO Interactive would return as developers.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up discussion with the Ian Games Network, Gattis aimed to clarify his previous statements, asserting, “I did not confirm that Amazon Game Studios is publishing the next one. Did not say that.” He emphasized the success of IO Interactive and shared that he had visited their team in Copenhagen recently, highlighting their strong partnership. Gattis expressed a desire for “007 First Light” to have the opportunity to thrive before moving on to discussions about sequels.<\/p>\n

Despite the ambiguity, Gattis suggested that a sequel is likely. “Trust that we’re going to be smart about this,” he noted, pointing to market demand as a driving factor for any future developments. However, he made it clear that there are currently no commitments regarding the nature of the sequel or who will be behind its creation and publication.<\/p>\n

The comments from Gattis, while promising, have left many fans with a sense of unease. The uncertainty surrounding the franchise’s future, coupled with Gattis’ hesitance, has raised questions about Amazon’s strategic direction for Bond games. His earlier remarks about Bond’s potential development being “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios” may have been clumsily phrased, rather than indicative of concrete plans.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, there’s a strong likelihood that IO Interactive will continue to be the developers of Bond games, provided there are no significant conflicts with Amazon. The relationship between the studio and the franchise appears fruitful, making it a sensible choice for the continuation of the series.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, while Amazon Gaming’s future plans for James Bond remain shrouded in mystery, Gattis’ comments indicate a cautious but optimistic approach towards the franchise’s next steps. Fans of the iconic character are left waiting, with hopes that the next installment will honor the legacy while meeting the modern audience’s expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Last week, Amazon gaming general manager Jeff Gattis rather put the cat amongst the pigeons when talking about James Bond’s future in games now IO Interactive’s 007 First Light<\/a> is out. He was cited by Polygon as having said that<\/a>, since they’ll be happening post-Amazon’s acquisition of the full Bond rights, any follow-up would be “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios”.<\/p>\n

When asked about Gattis’ comments, Amazon were quick to declare that it’s “still too early to discuss future projects”. Now, Gattis himself has claimed that he never confirmed Amazon Game Studios would be publishing the next Bond game, while once again not setting in stone whether IO Interactive will be returning as its developers.<\/p>\n
