Fans of the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye 007 are expecting a remaster of the game following its software brand renewal. This renewal comes after reports that GoldenEye would be getting a reissue, with its announcement coming this year.
golden eye 007 is a franchise that has been absent from the modern gaming world. At the time of N64, especially after the huge success of GoldenEye, it was common for James Bond video games to be released alongside the movies. This practice continued into the late 2000s, with movies starring Daniel Craig, such as Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, receiving video game adaptations.
golden eye 007 it was even reimagined in 2011 with Craig at the helm instead of Pierce Brosnan. However, none of these adaptations came close to the commercial success of the original GoldenEye 007. With stories like the aforementioned re-release rumors and the fact that Microsoft has revived the achievements from the canceled GoldenEye remaster on Xbox 360, some fans have speculated that the game could return soon.
This speculation continues to grow with the revelation that GoldenEye’s virtual content brand has been expanded. The brand in question reportedly allows the term GoldenEye to be used in connection with “downloadable electronic software”, suggesting a possible reissue, remake, or remaster. This renewal coincides with the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, which will be celebrated this year.
The idea that a GoldenEye reissue could arrive as part of the anniversary celebration seems plausible. However, the original GoldenEye has a fairly Soviet plot, so current world events might warrant a delay or alteration of some kind. However, the game is still immensely popular and beloved around the world, and GoldenEye’s speedrunners are still around decades after its initial release, so a remake could do with it.
