GoldenEye 25 - Fan Project - cancelled as devs receive cease and desist | General News | NintendoReporters

It was a the example of gaming greatness and who could forget the amount of hours that were spent huddling around a TV box with your friends painfully squinting as the screen was split into 4 tiny squares for it’s multiplayer.

Personally I was more into the campaign mode and 00 agent mode.

But to show that Goldeneye is still highly regarded, fans of the game became developers of the fan project GoldenEye 25.

It’s an unofficial remaster of the game that was heading to PC this month – have received a cease and desist notice from the IP holder for GoldenEye, MGM. They’re sadly having to stop development of the project and delete their social media accounts for the game.

### [](#but-wait)But wait

Thankfully though, it’s not all doom and gloom. Although the team can’t release their shooter with GoldenEye assets, they are going to be releasing a title under a different project name with different assets. At least their efforts haven’t been completely wasted!

I kinda wish they could port it to the Nintendo Switch.
