Rumors from recognized insiders and other sources abound (including leaked listings of gaming achievements) claiming that the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye 007 is about to return to Xbox in a remastered version. Nothing official has been revealed so far, although it looks like it will happen soon.
VentureBeat editor Jeff Grubb offered a possible explanation for why this hasn’t happened yet.He tweeted that he thought “if it was originally planned to be announced, it would likely have been put on hold due to the plot and characters of GoldenEye 007 related to the Soviet/Russian military.”Whether this is true is still up for debate, but a few days ago, the game’strademarkYears extended.
While a trademark doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be used, in the specific case of GoldenEye 007 — we would say this extension of the trademark at this time, it actually implies that something is going on.
