More Proof Of Raven's Involvement In A New Bond Game?
Now that MGM's problems have been squared away in regards to James Bond and a new film is finally moving forward, Activision is most certainly going to fire up its license for another game adaptation. But who will handle it? A new online hint points in Raven Software's direction.
The developer, known for titles like Singularity, Wolfenstein, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, hasn't announced its next project, but a rumor from December combined with new teases from a LinkedIn resume from one of its employees has speculation running wild.
The employee bills himself as the "creative director [on] unreleased international movie license action/adventure game at Raven Software." And he says he's "involved at highest levels of game design for an unreleased high-profile movie-license action/adventure game using the Unreal 3 engine." However, the one year and eight months development progress on the game raises some questions.
How did they kick off a video game based on Bond 23 when it only recently got off the ground? Is it another game not based on a movie like James Bond 007: Blood Stone? Or is Raven working on another movie property?
The most likely alternate suspect is a game adaptation of X-Men: First Class. The studio has plenty of experience with the franchise, previously adapting X-Men Origins: Wolverine and developing both X-Men Legends games. First Class releases in theaters on June 3 so the team would have had plenty of time to work with the movie side during production.
If it's X-Men, then Activision will have to announce the game soon to build awareness before the film release. If it's Bond, the publisher will most likely wait until E3 for an announcement.
