Goldeneye 007 is making its long-awaited return for Nintendo Switch with online play and Xbox Game Pass and Rare Replay as a remaster, but we nearly got it in a very different way,
According to Nightdive Studio’s CEO Stephen Kick, Nightdive apparently came incredibly close to securing the re-release of Goldeneye, which would no doubt have led to a remaster much like Nightdives’ other FPS re-releases.
“We @NightdiveStudio came *this* close to doing this, but ultimately I’m thrilled to see GoldenEye returning to modern platforms and more thrilled that @RareLtd is the studio to bring it back”
Kick didn’t elaborate on what happened and how the situation unfolded, but did say he is thrilled to see the game return.
