EA already mentioned it is in the midst of developing a sequel to GoldenEye a few times. Yesterday, the company sent out the official word...
"As the #1 console title in the US, Everything or Nothing, EA's critically acclaimed new Bond game has it all, including original music from Grammy winner Mya and top Hollywood talent such as Pierce Brosnan and Heidi Klum," said John Riccitiello, EA's President and COO. "And we're not done yet -- today we're announcing that we are developing GoldenEye 2 (working title), a game where players become the ultimate villain in the Bond universe," Riccitiello added.
In GoldenEye 2, players will explore the dark side of the Bond underworld, playing an agent who was a candidate for 00 status before being dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality. Players will join ranks with the legendary super-villain Auric Goldfinger, fighting for control of the world's greatest criminal organization. The game is under development at EA Los Angeles for multiple console platforms, scheduled for release this holiday season under the EA GAMES brand.
Unfortunately, EA hasn't announced the specific consoles, on which the game will be released, as of yet.
We will keep you posted!
