MGM Interactive and EON Productions announced today they've granted Activision the rights to develop and publish games based on the James Bond license through 2014.



"The James Bond franchise creates tremendous global expansion opportunities for Activision as it is one of the few video game licenses that appeals equally to domestic and international consumers," said Mike Griffith, president and CEO of Activision. "James Bond storylines are rich with style, drama and action, all of which lend themselves perfectly to developing extraordinary games that capture the thrill of being the most celebrated secret agent in the world."

Activision now has the right to develop and publish games based on all of the James Bond movies, as well as non-movie based games for all current and next-gen consoles and handhelds.

"Activision's track record of developing engaging and sophisticated games across all platforms makes it the ideal partner to introduce the Bond videogame experience to a new generation of game players, as well as to provide new thrills and excitement for the legions of people who are already fans of the Bond films and games" said David Pope, CEO of EON Productions Limited, maker of the James Bond films.

damn, you mean EA lost the license? While I did like some of EA bond games (Every thing or nothing), i think this is a great move for the license.
