Activision has announced Blood Stone, a new James Bond game. Singer Joss Stone will be playing a “posh version of Paris Hilton” in the game, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as James Bond and Judi Dench reprising her role as M. Joss Stone and David Stewart have teamed up to do a song for the game called “I’ll Take It All”. The game basically uses Quantum of Solace’s third person cover based shooting mechanic, but there are now vehicle pursuits in cars and speedboats as well as a focus mode to slow down time.
Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein will be penning the new Bond story, which focuses on the diamond trade and takes place in Athens, Istanbul, Monaco and Bangkok. Bizarre Creations have full developing duties. They have an interesting heritage, having released Project Gotham Racing, The Club, Geometry Wars and Blur. Expect 16 player multiplayer modes with agents vs. mercenaries too. The game doesn’t have a release date as of yet, but it will be coming out for the PC, PS3 and 360, with a separately developed DS version on the cards.
