Activision has officially taken the lid off of its next James Bond game, titled ‘James Bond 007: Blood Stone’ and currently in development at Bizarre Creations for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, with a DS version of the game in the works at n-Space.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone is set to be an action epic featuring cover-mechanic based firefights, hand-to-hand combat and “explosive adrenaline-fuelled” driving sequences, all while travelling to exotic locales around the world, visiting places like Athens, Istanbul, Monaco and Bangkok on a “global chase” to unravel an international conspiracy.

An online competitive component is also promised for Blood Stone, with several 16-player multiplayer modes set to be available in the game featuring the eternal battle between spies and mercenaries.

Blood Stone will not only feature the voice and likeness of current ‘Bond’ actor Daniel Craig, but also those of music artist Joss Stone, who will step into a leading role in the game.

Additionally, Stone will contribute original music to Blood Stone, including the track titled “I’ll Take it All,” written and performed by Stone and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. Judi Dench (playing the character ‘M’), too, will contribute voice work to James Bond 007: Blood Stone
