Another James Bond Game Scheduled for 2011

With the next film scheduled for 2012, this one's probably an original story.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone wasn't exactly, er, well received, but as Activision remains the exclusive rights holder to the James Bond franchise, the video games keep on comin'. Activision confirmed yet another James Bond game is coming sometime in 2011 during today's quarterly financial call, but said little else.

In May of last year, I reported that Raven Software was working a stealth-based James Bond game, in addition to developing map packs for the Call of Duty franchise. That stealth game was put on hold at the time, but it's certainly possible Activision asked the studio to resume development. I'm looking into it, but can't add anything to the story right now.

There is no James Bond movie scheduled for this year, either. Director Sam Mendes is attached to what's tentatively called Bond 23, but only recently resolved bankruptcy issues at MGM delayed production. Bond 23 is not expected to arrive until November 2012, meaning the game would be an original story.
