It’s a shame GoldenEye 25 will not plan for the light. Other fan-remakes, such as the Black Mesa remaster fan Half-Life, have made it into the wild. But if the GoldenEye 25 team notes, there was always the chance that a hammer would fall on the remake, despite MGM and Danjaq being able to keep other projects live.
There’s a bit of a silver lining in it that the project can handle make its way to Steam and maybe even consoles. Yet for many who were looking for it GoldenEye 25, they will be left to wonder what may have been.
