007 - Legends: Skyfall*** (November, 2012)
Spectre (????, 2013?)
With Spectre's release later this year, I sat down to do a marathon watch-through/play of the Craig films and video games, and decided to timeline the series when I noticed the films and games all usually featured detailed dates.
This is a timeline/chronology of the Daniel Craig era Bond films (and spin off video games which some may consider non-canon, but I like to include them to fill out Bond's missions/experience more). All dates are drawn directly from the films and video games.
The films are in bold blue and underlined text, and the video games are in bold red underlined text (007 - Legends "Skyfall" DLC is listed in regular red underlined text). The dates the films/games take place on are contained within parentheses.
Notes:
* Casino Royale is firmly set in 2006. Quantum of Solace picks up immediately after Casino Royale's ending, yet later in the film a date shows the year as 2008 (concurrent with the film's year of release). I stick with the 2006 date since that was established first in Casino Royale as the year Bond receives his 00 status.
** 007 - Legends features flashbacks to missions that occur during the time frame between Quantum of Solace and the beginning of Skyfall. There are no dates given in the game so it's unknown specifically when those missions occur, other than after QoS and before Skyfall. The missions reboot classic Bond films with Craig's Bond in place of the previous versions, essentially rebooting those storylines to occur in Craig's Bond timeline as well. The previous films adapted include Goldfinger (Sean Connery), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (George Lazenby), Moonraker (Roger Moore), Licence to Kill (Timothy Dalton) and Die Another Day (Pierce Brosnan).
*** 007 - Legends featured a DLC mission that adapted portions of the Skyfall film, which is listed here.
