GoldenEye 007 Looks To Be Coming to Xbox As Achievements Leak

GoldenEye 007, the classic N64 shooter from British developer Rare, looks to finally be arriving on Xbox consoles soon, according to a new leaked GoldenEye 007 Achievement List.

The list includes achievements for completing the game's many levels on any difficulty, plus additional achievements for higher difficulty levels and quick completion times. And of course, there's achievements for playing GoldenEye 007's iconic multiplayer - there's even one for playing as Oddjob, the game's most controversial character choice!

Following Microsoft's acquisition of developer Rare in the early noughties, GoldenEye 007 was unbelievably close to releasing on Xbox 360 around 2008, with Rare even building an entire working (and updated) version of the game for release on XBLA. However, licensing talks between Nintendo, Microsoft, and the James Bond rights holders broke down, and the nearly finished game was never release - until a build of the XBLA GoldenEye 007 leaked recently, of course.

Now it looks like Xbox will finally be getting a proper version of GoldenEye 007 in the near future, if the achievements are already live. Will this be a simple port of the N64 version, or will the upgraded XBLA version finally get a release? And with Nintendo seemingly agreeing to the release, will we also see GoldenEye 007 coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack? Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for an official announcement, to discover the answers to these questions.
