007 Legends Trailer

To celebrate the James Bond franchise’s 50th anniversary, Activision is bringing back six of Bond’s most iconic and intense undercover missions – including the upcoming Skyfall – from the popular Bond film franchise with 007 Legends. The action-adventure, first-person shooter game is set for release in Fall 2012 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation, with a PC version unconfirmed but also possible.

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.

Moonraker — the 11th movie in the Bond film franchise — is the first revealed of the six classic Bond movie-inspired missions. Transporting aspiring secret agents to the well-known space port of billionaire industrialist, Hugo Drax, fans must rely on stealth and determine if they’ll trust and align with questionable allies to infiltrate the orbiting evil lair and defeat one of the most iconic Bond henchmen — Jaws. The goal? Foil the enemy and destroy Drax’s plans to poison the world.

Watch the first 007 Legends Trailer detailing “Mission 1: Moonraker” as the first of six movies covered in the 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.

“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.”

So that trailer and news bit confirmed 2 of the 6 James Bond movies in the game are: Moonraker and Skyfall. I wonder what other movies will be covered in the game?
