Hope that this means that a new video game is on the horizon soon. I have missed playing a Bond themed game for some time now.

Glad that I still own a majority of the older games for previous home consoles to tied me over until a new game comes out.

Please release another console game. No free app games anymore like that horrible World of Espionage game

It would be really nice if Scientific Game were to release a video game in the near future. It would certainly help many fans including myself to pass the time in self quarantine faster.
