Over the weekend, we learned that Telltale is working on asequel toMinecraft: Story Mode. Now, there’s word that the studio is also developing another one of its episodic adaptations, taking on one of the biggest franchises in the history of cinema — international super spyJames Bond.
In the wake of confirmation thatMinecraft: Story Modeseason two was in the works, a Twitter user known as @AnEvilHag decided to leak some more information regarding Telltale’s future plans. Images purportedly from a company survey were posted, which featured art and imagery from upcoming, unannounced projects.
Minecraft: Story Modeseason two was present, as was a second season ofTales from the Borderlands. There was also one completely new series, entitledSolstice, which was represented by a logo incorporating the classic 007 symbol that has served as a shorthand forJames Bondfor decades.
At this point, it’s unclear whetherSolsticeis in active development, or pre-production. It’s entirely possible that Telltale is using this survey to scope out possible future projects, with its James Bond adaptation being an interesting concept that might not come to pass.
However, it’s difficult to deny the appeal of a game that transplants the character of 007 to the kind of gameplay that Telltale specializes in — and we know that the studio isinterested in the property. We’ve seen plenty of Bond games focus on shooting and driving, but an episodic adventure game could put the spotlight on the other elements of being a secret agent, like using outlandish gadgets to outwit the enemy.
It will certainly be interesting to see whether or not Solstice makes an appearance at E3 2017 when it gets underway in just a few days. Telltale certainly has no shortage of projects on its plate, withGuardians of the Galaxycurrently ongoing, and a new season ofGame of Thronesyet to come — but when it comes to this particular studio, there always seems to be room for more.
A potentialJames Bondtitle from Telltale Games could be on the way.
