A list of 55 Xbox achievements for the classic 007 GoldenEye recently leaked, making it seem like a re-release of the iconic FPS for the N64 might finally show up - almost a year after rumors of a supposed remaster leaked. 007 GoldenEye was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the N64 in 1997, being acclaimed as one of the most important console FPSs ever made. However, due to rights issues surrounding the game - the Nintendo gave up the IP and the Rare is now owned by Microsoft  (GoldenEye was never re-released on any platform). The Microsoft and the Rare clearly tried to release a remaster of GoldenEye, as a leak last year proved, but presumably could not resolve the rights issue. However, the sudden release of an achievement list for 007 GoldenEye in the database of Xbox - as detected by TrueAchievements - suggests that a re-release may be near.

It is not yet known whether this will be a direct port of the N64 version or a remaster — but, as TrueAchievements notes, the achievements are different from the leaked XBLA remake. There is currently no store page for the game, so it is hard to determine in what form GoldenEye will arrive, but an official achievements page — especially for a title that was never on Xbox — would not appear by chance. In other words, don't get your hopes up too high, but a GoldenEye release may very well be just around the corner. It would certainly be nice to play it again while we wait for the James Bond game from the Hitman. Source: PC Games N, TrueAchievements
