Yet, Bond did not appear and GoldenEye 007 remaster still awaits official confirmation from Rare and Microsoft.

Goldeneye is still in limbo because of the war. 1 v 100's team lead left Microsoft. I don't know what that means for the game. But there was no word from the officials regarding the remastered title. Game journalist Jeff Grubb recently tweeted that the title is apparently in limbo due to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This would mean that players are staring at an uncertain future regarding the 007 title. For many, this was the perfect year to announce GoldenEye 007 remaster, for 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of the classic N64 title. Last month saw the release of a documentary on the making of the earlier game, titled , which tells "the incredible inside story of the creation and legacy of GoldenEye007, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year." The official press statement about the documentary states: "Goldeneye would set the stage for the FPS genre to dominate the gaming industry through the next 2 decades, ushering in a new era of gaming, brining a fully featured 3D FPS with complex AI, motion capture animations and narrative story telling to home consoles.
