Activision have now released their earnings report for the quarter just gone. The publisher announced making $200 million profits on a $1 billion sales earnings. However, the hidden piece of video game news behind this announcement is the hint at some new games that are currently in development.
Dropped into the financial report were some hints that we could be seeing new games for Spiderman, Tony Hawk and James Bond. Mike Griffth, the president of Activision, has confirmed the new Bond game, but has not yet done so for the other 2. Unfortunately, no other information was given out, just that is was being produced at the moment.
The last Bond game released was published by Activision, and it looks to be one of the best Bond games yet. That game got gamers playing through 2 different films, Casino Royale and the latest one, Quantum of Solace. That game was built by Treyarch, the makers of Call of Duty: World At War, which might be why it picked up so many good video game ratings. However, no mention to whether Treyarch would be the developers behind this new game.
Also, nothing was mentioned about what the story of the game would be based on. So basically the story could go in any direction, it could be based on an entirely new story, a story of a previous film, or possible be a prequel to a new film.
As for the other 2 games, there were rumours recently about a new Spiderman film being released wich would suggest a new game release aswell, this I look forward to. Finally, the last game hinted at, Tony Hawks, I don’t think this is going to happen because with Tony Hawk: Ride being released in November , I don’t believe they would try and release a second so quickly after Ride. However, you can never really tell, it’s just a waiting game now.
