Electronic Arts is recruiting for Casino Royale, its next-gen adaption of the new James Bond film!

Gaming giant EA is continuing to develop games based on the James Bond franchise with a title based on the upcoming Daniel Craig flick Casino Royale. According to a job listing on its website:

"Next year's James Bond game from EA Redwood Shores will be based on the next movie from Sony/MGM pictures, Casino Royale. CR will be the first Bond movie in over four years and the first one since Sony bought MGM. This will also coincide with the release of the Sony PS3. Additionally, the movie will premiere the newest James Bond and will be directed by Martin Campbell (who directed Goldeneye). The game will have direct ties with the making of the movie including the actors, director, the script and all the marketing. The game will be released day and date with the movie and will be one of EA's top five games for 2006 and a huge Christmas release for the industry.

We are looking for the top talented people in the industry to work on the next gen platforms - PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution."

This contradicts what we've previously heard, which is that the game will be developed for current-gen platforms. Considering the scheduling of the game though, it's hardly suprising. It's interesting to note that if this statement means "next year" as in 2007, it suggests the PS3 might not be released for a while.

Intriguingly EA have now removed the job description from their website. We'll keep you posted!
