Rumour: New GoldenEye for Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360

GoldenEye 007
Is a new GoldenEye coming to the Nintendo Wii and possibly the Xbox 360 and PS3?

According to the CV of Craig Peck, animator at Eurocom Entertainment Software, a new GoldenEye game is in development for the Nintendo Wii.


Activision leaked their plans to release a new James Bond game earlier in the year, with 2010 as its intended release date. Peck's CV is the first indication that it might be another GoldenEye video game entry.

The N64 game GoldenEye 007, developed by Rare in 1997, is regarded as a classic, after being received incredibly well by critics. The 2006 game GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, developed by EA, was not so well received, to say the least.

Pecks CV (resume) writes:

"Eurocom Entertainment Software, Derby, United Kingdom: July 09 – Sept 09 Animator – GoldenEye 2010 (Wii) - Animator on Activision’s James Bond series for the Nintendo Wii."

Well, there's very little chance that he could be lying on his own CV. It's also interesting to note that his work on the title ended in September of this year.

Bizarre is confirmed to be developing the next Bond game, with Treyarch taking a break from the franchise. Though this is the case, it's still very possible that Activision has called on Eurocom to work on the Wii game, as they did with Quantum of Solace.

Moreover, this means that it's very likely that the same GoldenEye game will be in development for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at Bizarre.

[UPDATE] - Peck's website and CV have now been taken offline.
