Amazon MGM Confirms Rights to Future James Bond Games After $20 Million Bond Deal

3 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Jun 4

Summary

  • Amazon MGM said it controls rights to any future James Bond video games, but said it is still too early to discuss specific new projects.
  • The company said it has a strong relationship with IO Interactive, the studio behind 007 First Light, and that IOI will reveal more about that game soon.
  • Jeff Gattiss previously told Polygon that 007 First Light could be published by IOI because its deal predated Amazon's Bond takeover, while any sequels would be overseen by MGM and potentially Amazon Game Studios.
  • 007 First Light sold 1.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, with analysts now estimating more than 2 million since its May 27 release, strengthening the case for further Bond games.
