"Everything Or Nothing" Bond Game Announced
9th May 2003

Electronic Arts have named their next title in the highly profitable 007 game franchise - James Bond 007 will return in "Everything Or Nothing".

The game, which follows hot on the heels of "NightFire", will be previewed at the upcoming E3 Expo from May 14th to May 16th 2003 at the Los Angeles Convention Centre.

The title "Everything Or Nothing" is often rumoured to be the true meaning of EON Productions (the producers of the Bond movies), but this is often rebutted.

In a press release, developers and publishers EA said, "Everything Or Nothing" will be the most complex Bond game yet, full of excitement and intrigue. All-new scenarios and gameplay will complement a completely original storyline that delivers all-out Bond-style intensity.

As MI6 tipped last month, the latest game will be set in the third perspective, much like the popular Tomb Raider games. The new style breaks from the last two games produced by EA - "Agent Under Fire" and "NightFire" which were both first-person perspective shooters.

EA boast the game will feature a large variety of missions, filled with furious action and stealth, gorgeous women, classic villains, exotic locales, and sophisticated spy-craft gadgetry that Bond fans expect.

Three-times Bond movie writer Bruce Feirstein will be penning the lines for the game's cast. In a statement given to MI6 he said, "Electronic Arts and Danjaq have come up with a terrific story, along with cutting edge graphics and game play that I'm certain will entertain, intrigue, and amaze not only fans of James Bond, but all game players."

The disappointing news is that the PC platform will once again be overlooked. "NightFire" for PC-CDROM came under criticism that it did not live up to its console counterparts, after much anticipation following the console-only release of "Agent Under Fire" and the scrapping of "The World Is Not Enough" for PC owners.

Buyers of the "Die Another Day" Special Edition Region 1 (USA) DVD will get a sneak peak at "Everything Or Nothing" in an exclusive special feature when the 2-disc set is released on June 3rd 2003.
