Daniel Craig's 007 debut coming to all next-generation formats, including the Revolution...
Although recent titles have met with less then unanimous praise and success the James Bond license remains one of the most profitable in the videogames industry, so it's little surprise to find EA searching for positions to take Daniel Craig's 007 debut in Casino Royale over to next-generation formats.
In development at EA Redwood Shores, information enclosed within the job details hints at direct ties with the making of the movie including the actors, director (Goldeneye's Martin Campbell), the script and all the marketing.
Confirmation comes that the game will be released day and date with the movie, with claims that the game will be a "huge" Christmas release for the industry, signalling that both the Revolution and Playstation3 will be released in North America at least ahead of the holiday season.
Intriguingly Casino Royale is the first Bond movie to be made since Sony bought MGM, however the posting confirms that Casino Royale will be released for all next-generation formats including the Nintendo Revolution.
