Rumor: Raven Software developing stealth-based Bond game, taking focus off X-Men Origins sequel
According to a report from James Bond fan site MI6, one of Raven Softwares teams was hard at work on a stealth-centric James Bond title before MGM finally decided to stop ignoring the mountain of debt thatd been crushing it since 2005. In addition, Activision reallocated a bunch of Raven folks to work on Call of Duty map packs, rendering the stealthy Bond game effectively invisible for a time.
However, with MGM now plowing forward with its plan for profit through bankruptcy, Ravens Bond game has been taken off hiatus.
Another Raven title a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine is apparently still on the backburner.
Oh well, at least things are finally looking up, right? Er, not necessarily. Raven recently came a few steps closer to nevermore status after 20-40 employees were laid-off a couple months ago. Allegedly, the lay-offs were intended to re-focus the studio toward development of DLC. Now though, with at least one full-blown game running full steam ahead, the developer could be spreading itself a little thin. Heres hoping its barren job listing page repopulates soon.
