007 Legends Reveals First Classic Mission and Release Date

Fans of England’s favourite super spy rejoice! Not only has the trailer for James Bond’s latest adventure – Skyfall – been released (and which is looking to be a fantastic film) but a trailer for 007 Legends was also included.

007 Legends is the latest game from Eurocom, who were previously behind the Goldeneye remake and its HD upgrade, and follows Daniel Craig’s Bond through 6 missions. One of these missions was originally reported to be Skyfall itself, with the other 5 being classic Bond films given a modern day update. Speculation was running wild with what could be included and how they would be modernised, but with the release of the trailer we can now confirm one of the classic films to be Roger Moore’s 1979 entry: Moonraker.

The 007 Legends trailer begins at 1:23

Yes, the film with the hover-gondola, outer space shoot outs and lasers is being remade as a mission for the more down to Earth and realistic direction of the latest films. As the trailer shows the lasers and secret space stations still feature in the, which are in my opinion a little outside of the realm of the Craig era. After thoroughly enjoying Goldeneye I expect this game will also be a great title, but story wise I’m a little worried how this over the top entry is going to gel.

Now just to wait for the reveal of the remaining missions. Are there any in particular you’ve got your sights set on or indeed any you hope they avoid? Would you even like to see a previous mission from a game return in the new style (It may be the closest I can hope to get to a HD re-release of Everything or Nothing, and a HD Willem Dafoe)? Be prepared, as soon as any new missions come in we’ll let you know.

007 Legends will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC 16th October 2012
