Rumour: A “Certain Super Spy” Could Return Within The Next Few Weeks

Apparently, a “certain super spy” could be making a return in the coming weeks. This is all according to VGC editor and former Playtonic Games writer Andy Robinson, who shared this message over on Twitter.

While it’s unclear who exactly this spy could be, one obvious guess is James Bond. Some have also referenced SNK’s ’90s release The Super Spy and various other video game characters that work in the same field. Although, in saying this – Robinson’s mate was spotted wearing a GoldenEye 007 themed watch in one of the photos attached to this tweet.

Graslu00, an individual associated with the leaked Xbox 360 remaster, even replied:

GoldenEye 007 resurfaced at the start of 2022 when achievements for an Xbox version of the game were discovered. It also follows on from GoldenEye 007’s ban being lifted in Germany late last year.

As exciting as it is that Rare’s 1997 first-person shooter could be returning, it’s unclear right now if this rumoured release would go beyond Xbox.

Rare most recently released Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack service, so with any luck, Nintendo and Microsoft can perhaps work something out and get GoldenEye 007 on there – if it does end up making a return.
