Press Release
SANTA MONICA,
Calif., April 18, 2012 - To celebrate the James Bond
franchise's 50th anniversary, Activision Publishing, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ATVI), will launch gamers back through time to relive a selection of
Bond's most iconic and intense undercover missions from the popular
Bond film franchise with 007™ Legends.
A first-of-its-kind
Bond video game, 007 Legends features an original,
overarching storyline tying together six classic Bond movies,
concluding with this year's highly-anticipated 23rd installment —
SKYFALL — to offer the most diverse Bond gaming experience yet!
As with the feature films, 007 Legends equips players
with state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons, including
Bond's signature Walther PPK, and sleek vehicles as they jet off to
exotic locations and utilize Bond's quick wits, class and style to
take down notorious villains and their brutal henchmen, perform
impressive stunts, and of course...mingle with gorgeous Bond women.
"To honor 50 years
of the world's top secret agent, 007 Legends offers a
collection of his most famed moments in the smartest and most
treacherous Bond game yet," said David Oxford, Executive
Vice President at Activision Publishing, Inc. "Creating
a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very
different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging, but together
with EON Productions, our developer Eurocom, has pulled it off
to create an homage that we think will be a unique and highly
entertaining Bond video game."
In addition to 007
Legends' main story, the game will feature the return of fan-favorite
single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which debuted
in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges
players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to
stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online
leader board scores. For the first time ever, players will be
able to participate as one of Bond's cohorts or villainous foes,
reliving the missions through their eyes, as well as 007's. The
robust James Bond multiplayer experience includes local four-player
split-screen game modes and online competitive gameplay with new
maps, weapons and characters derived from Bond's 50 year legacy.
With more gadgets, deeper stealth and spy investigation gameplay,
gamers will have every opportunity to truly feel like the world's
favorite spy.
Planned to launch this
fall, 007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom,
under license from EON Productions Ltd. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Studios, Inc. (MGM) for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer
