Activision have now released their earnings report for the quarter just gone. They have announced that they made giant $200 million profit on a $1 billion earnings. However, there was a hidden piece of video game news behind this announcement is some new game releases were hinted at within their financial report.

Within all the technical talk, there were some hints that in the not too distant future we may see a new Spiderman, Bond, and Tony Hawks game. Although the Spiderman and the Tony Hawk game is not confirmed, the president of Activision, Mike Griffith did confirm the Bond game. Unfortunately, no other information was given out, just that is was being produced at the moment.

The current Bond game, released earlier this year, was published by Activision and it has been one of the best Bond based games to date. That game got gamers playing through 2 different films, Casino Royale and the latest one, Quantum of Solace. That game had been built by Treyarch, the masters behind many Call of Duty games, probably why it grabbed to many good video game ratings. However, no mention to whether Treyarch would be the developers behind this new game.

Also, nothing was mentioned about what the story of the game would be based on. So basically the story could go in any direction, it could be based on an entirely new story, a story of a previous film, or possible be a prequel to a new film.

As for the other 2, there have been a number of hints at a new Spiderman film being announced, which no doubt would also get a game so that one is a possibility. Finally, the last game hinted at, Tony Hawks, I don’t think this is going to happen because with Tony Hawk: Ride being released in November, I don’t think they would released another so quickly. However, you can never really tell, it’s just a waiting game now.
