'00 James Bond game nearly killed Call of Duty before it was even an idea. Published Apr 9, 2026, 7:35 AM EDT Jack Coleman (He/Him) is a News Editor from Ireland. This is his third full year in games media, having previously worked freelance for various outlets, including DualShockers and NME. A lifelong gamer, Jack is primarily interested in RPGs and narrative experiences. He's also been playing League of Legends for a decade, unfortunately. Remember James Bond: 007 Nightfire? It was a follow-up to 007 GoldenEye - one of the most legendary first-person shooters ever - and its sequel, The World Is Not Enough. Nightfire was published by Electronic Arts, who were looking for a partner to port the console version to PC. In an interview with writer Cade Onder, Sledgehammer Games co-founder and EA veteran Michael Condrey spoke about how EA went about finding a partner to port 007: Nightfire - a decision that he reckons may have had an understated impact on the eventual creation of the Call of Duty series (nice spot, IGN). EA passed over 2015 for the port of 007: nighfire. "Eventually, in the series order we were working on a title called Nightfire. We were looking for a PC developer. Now this would've been 2001, 2002. We were shopping the game for PC developers who could come in and take our console game - we were focused on consoles at that time - and deliver a PC version. And there were several interesting PC developers we talked to; one of them happened to be Vince [Zampella] and Jason [West]," Condrey revealed. Zampella and West were working at 2015 Inc, the studio responsible for the acclaimed Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, another game published by Electronic Arts. The studio needed funding and were searching for their next project, but EA ultimately chose Gearbox to port the game. Talk about shooting your shot. Sep 4, 2025 The PC port of 007 Nightfire, developed by Gearbox, wound up being infamously awful. Perhaps this contributed to EA's decision to bring the development of Medal of Honor in-house, perhaps not. Either way, EA's partnership with 2015 ended, which led to the studio signing a deal with Activision to create the Call of Duty franchise. "They wanted the game and we went with a different PC developer. And you want to talk about a weird multiverse... we met with them, walked through the process, did the due diligence; had we hired Vince and Jason and 2015 to do James Bond PC, who knows what? That's a weird moment," Condrey muses. Eventually, Condrey would reunite with the pair to co-develop Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with Sledgehammer Games, a studio he founded in 2009 with Glen Schofield. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. * Released - November 8, 2011 * ESRB - M for Mature: Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Strong Language * Developer(s) - Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games * Publisher(s) - Activision * Engine - iw * Multiplayer - Online Multiplayer * Genre(s) - FPS
In a move that has stunned the gaming industry, Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced its acquisition of Rockstar Games, the studio behind the iconic Grand Theft Auto franchise. The deal...
Electronic Arts' nearly $15 billion debt offering to fund a company buyout has attracted approximately $25 billion in investor demand, signalling strong appetite despite volatile markets. JPMorgan Chase is leading the bank group managing the sale. The financing package includes a roughly $4 billion leveraged loan that has drawn $9 billion in orders. A $4.75 billion secured bond has attracted $9 billion in demand, whilst a $2.5 billion unsecured bond has seen $7 billion in interest. JPMorgan committed a record $20 billion last year to bankroll EA's acquisition by a Silver Lake Management-led consortium. The underwriters are marketing a $4 billion term loan at 98.50 cents on the dollar with interest rates 3.5 to 3.75 percentage points above benchmark, plus a €1.53 billion loan at similar terms.
Investors have placed about $9 billion of orders for a roughly $4 billion leveraged loan sale tied to the deal that a JPMorgan Chase & Co.-led bank group launched earlier this week, according to people with knowledge of the matter. There’s also growing interest in the junk-bond portion of the financing, which is expected to hit the market as soon as next week. Demand for a $4.75 billion secured bond has reached about $9 billion, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak publicly.
Electronic Arts has returned 15.8% over the past six months, outperforming the flat S&P 500, with shares now trading at $199.34. The video game publisher, known for Madden NFL and FIFA franchises, demonstrated strong profitability metrics over the last two years. The company posted an average EBITDA margin of 35.3% and a free cash flow margin of 27.6%, both elite figures for the consumer internet sector. However, EA's long-term revenue growth disappointed, with annualised growth of just 3.7% over the past three years. The stock currently trades at 16.3× forward EV/EBITDA. Despite slower revenue growth, EA's strong profitability metrics and efficient business model provide compelling investment attributes.
