Key Points:
- Amazon MGM holds the rights to all future James Bond video games, but it is too early to discuss upcoming projects, maintaining a strong relationship with developer IO Interactive.
- IO Interactive, developer of 007 First Light, has expressed interest in creating a trilogy of James Bond games, with potential for sequels given the game's ending.
- Amazon acquired the James Bond rights last year for $20 million, meaning future Bond games by IO Interactive would be overseen by MGM and possibly Amazon Game Studios.
- 007 First Light sold over 1.5 million copies within 24 hours of release, with estimates now exceeding 2 million copies sold since May 27th.
- The game received positive reviews for its engaging combat and charm, and IO Interactive has significant post-release plans for 007 First Light.
