Amazon walks back comments about taking 007 off of IO, but does say 'anything's possible' when it comes to buying the studio outright

Theresa Lorca looks sceptical.

Amazon really confounded us all last month when, following the successful launch of 007 First Light, Amazon Gaming general manager Jeff Gattis mused that sequels would be "done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios." Given that so many people—barring one uncontroversial and universally beloved PC Gamer writer—rather liked IOI's Bond game, it was incomprehensible to suggest yanking it away from the studio.

Well, I guess Amazon itself has realised what a boneheaded move that would be, because in a recent chat with GI.biz, Gattis clarified that—insofar as the developer of the next 007 game is concerned—nothing is set in stone. "We did not confirm anything about who's publishing or developing the next Bond sequel… we haven't even discussed it really yet. The game's awesome. That's great. I think it's realistic to think that there would be a sequel."
