Bond's next cinematic outing may be some way off, but that doesn't seem to have stopped what could turn into a deluge of games for 007. Wisconsin-based Raven Software is rumoured to be working on an all-new stealth-based title for the world's favourite misogynist.

Bond fansite MI6 has broken cover on Raven Software's stealth-centric take on the franchise, a game that was in development but put on hold as the team finished off Singularity.

An upturn in the ever-evolving situation at debt-ridden MGM – owners of the Bond licence - is cited as one of the reasons that the project is back on track, although it's believed it'll be some time before any concrete details emerge.

Activision took a two-pronged attack on the Bond licence this year, with the Wii getting a successful retread of GoldenEye courtesy of Eurocom. Bizarre Creations, meanwhile, handled the less well-received Blood Stone, after which the Liverpool-based studio was put to market by Activision.

Activision was unable to provide comment on the story at the time of publication.
