'We have a great relationship with IO Interactive,' Amazon says, but it won't commit to bringing the studio back for future Bond games

Q brandishes colour cards at a gormless Bond.

I was a bit surprised yesterday when Amazon Gaming general manager Jeff Gattis said that following the success of 007 First Light, sequels will be "done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios," suggesting that First Light developer IO Interactive may find itself relieved of its Bond burden. The game is pretty good, and it's a decent-sized hit too—so why burn any bridges, especially so soon after launch?

In a statement provided to PC Gamer, though, an Amazon spokesperson said that's not really the case at all—although the company remains non-committal about what the future holds.
