Amazon Games says no decision yet on James Bond sequel

Amazon Games executive Jeff Gattis has clarified the company's position on future James Bond video games, stating that no decisions have been made regarding development or publishing for a potential sequel to the successful "007: First Light." This follows earlier comments from Gattis that had sparked concern among fans that Amazon might take the franchise away from its original developer, IO Interactive.

In a recent interview, Gattis, the general manager for Amazon Luna and Amazon Game Studios, emphasized that discussions about a sequel have not yet begun. He directly quoted IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak, stating they "haven't even discussed it really yet." While acknowledging Amazon technically owns the rights to the James Bond intellectual property, Gattis sought to reassure the gaming community. "We're going to do what's right by the game, we're not trying to bring everything into Amazon," he said. He added that given the success of "007: First Light," it is realistic to expect a sequel and that one would probably want IO Interactive to develop it.

The clarification comes after Gattis previously suggested that future Bond games would be handled by MGM and Amazon Game...
