Rare employees are seemingly still unlocking Achievements behind the scenes for an unannounced Xbox port of GoldenEye 007.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, it was first spotted that developers were seemingly playing an Xbox version of the classic N64 shooter, as their progress was being logged on tracker sites.<\/p>\n
Now, TrueAchivements – a site that syncs and tracks Achievement activity – has logged further recent activity, showing that a Gamertag associated with a Rare engineer unlocked another GoldenEye Achievement this week.<\/p>\n
According to the site, user ‘BigSheep’ unlocked the Achievement. The Gamertag appears to belong to Rare’s lead engineer James Thomas, who previously worked on N64 ports for 2015’s Rare Replay.<\/p>\n
It was reported earlier this year that GoldenEye 007 for Xbox could be announced imminently – a claim that VGC’s own sources had corroborated. However, it’s likely that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine altered timespans, due to the heavy Soviet themes of the N64 game.<\/p>\n
Goldeneye 007 has famously faced many legal issues when a re-release has been attempted in the past, with rights holders Nintendo, Microsoft and MGM theoretically all required to approve a new version of the game.<\/p>\n
However, 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, leading to expectations that the most iconic video game in the franchise’s history could finally be re-released as part of the celebration.<\/p>\n
