A new James Bond game called Cypher 007 is set to launch on Apple Arcade this month, putting players in the shoes of the iconic secret agent as he battles against SPECTRE and its leader, Ernst Blofeld. With a range of stealth tactics, close combat, gadgets, and vehicles at your disposal, you must complete various missions. Over the years, there have been numerous James Bond video games based on the popular literary and cinematic character, but none have quite achieved the same level of fame as GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. This first-person shooter, tied to the 1995 film of the same name, became an unforgettable classic and paved the way for many other games featuring James Bond in different cinematic iterations.
IO Interactive, the renowned developer behind Hitman and Kane and Lynch, made an exciting announcement in November 2020. They revealed that they were working on a new James Bond video game called Project 007. Despite the limited information available, it has been confirmed that the game will feature a unique single-player narrative, delving into the origins of the iconic spy known for his love of cutting-edge gadgets and martinis. Fans have been eagerly speculating about the gameplay, curious to see if IO Interactive will stay true to the first-person shooter style of GoldenEye or create an entirely fresh experience for Agent 007.
On another front, Tilting Point, the publisher responsible for popular games like SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off and Star Trek Timelines, is preparing to release a new James Bond mobile game titled Cypher 007. The game will be available on Apple Arcade later this month. Cypher 007 is a top-down isometric action game that allows players to assume the role of 007. Players will navigate various iconic moments and locations from the James Bond franchise, engaging in stealth and combat as they take on the notorious criminal organization SPECTRE and its leader, Ernst Blofeld.
In the recently unveiled trailer for Cypher 007 on YouTube, players are introduced to a game that combines stealth and combat against SPECTRE's forces. The iconic James Bond experience is amplified by the use of inventive gadgets, such as an electric-shooting watch to disable security cameras and a remote-controlled drone for recon purposes. Exciting vehicle segments are also showcased, featuring Bond taking control of a helicopter to eliminate SPECTRE bases. Marking its release date, Cypher 007 will be available on Apple Arcade from September 29.
With Daniel Craig's departure from the iconic James Bond role, both Cypher 007 and IO Interactive's Project 007 arrive during a period of transition for the franchise. As the internet buzzes with rumors and speculation about who will succeed Craig as the next 007, the release of Cypher 007 offers a thrilling top-down action/stealth experience to keep devoted fans eagerly engaged until more details about Project 007 emerge.
Cypher 007 launches on Apple Arcade on September 29.
