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, there was a hidden piece of video game news behind this announced is the possible hint of some new games dropped into the report.
Pretty deep within the report, behind all the technical talk, were some hints at new Spiderman, Tony Hawk, and James Bond games that could be on the horizon. Mike Griffth, the president of Activision, has confirmed the new Bond game, but has not yet done so for the other 2. Unfortunately, nothing really was said about the games, just that they're in development.
The last Bond game released was published by Activision, and it looks to be one of the best Bond games yet. The game allowed players to play through the adventures in both films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. That was had been developed by Treyarch, the guys behind the most recent Call of Duty game, possible why it got so many good video game ratings. However, Treyarch was not mentioned as the developers behind this new announcement.
Also, nothing was mentioned about what the story of the game would be based on. so really we have no idea where the storyline could go, it could be based entirely on a new story, a previously released film, or many even a prequel to a yet to be announced film.
As for the other 2 games rumoured at, there were some details going around recently about a possible new Spiderman film, which would imply a new game was also being developed. Finally, the Tony Hawk game, I don't think is happening because with Tony Hawk: Ride being released in November, I reckon they won't release another so quickly after Ride. But you never really know, we'll simply have to wait and see what they announce.
