Goldeneye 007 remaster is reportedly on hold due to war in Ukraine

0

Rumors of the Goldeneye 007 remaster for Xbox consoles have been swirling about all year. Though several reputable sources now claim the project is on hold due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Many were expecting that Goldeneye 007 would turn up at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase last month, especially with several achievement listings more or less confirming the game is in development. However, that (obviously) didn’t happen. On Sunday, well-known industry insider and Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb spoke briefly about the remaster’s current status.

“Goldeneye is still in limbo because of the war,” Grubb said on Twitter. “1 vs. 100‘s team lead left Microsoft. I don’t know what that means for the game.”

Eurogamer went on to corroborate Grubb’s claim. Microsoft hasn’t officially announced anything regarding a Goldeneye 007 remaster one way or another. Though the recent trademark renewal all but confirms the beloved N64 first-person shooter will likely make a comeback eventually.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year has significantly impacted the games industry. Most notably, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl developer GSC Game World delayed the game until 2023, as the studio relocated to finish development. Several companies, including Microsoft, Sony, CD Projekt Red, Electronic Arts and many others, have either stopped doing business in Russia or donated towards humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.
