A re-imagining of the film of the same name, From Russia With Love will see Sean Connery reprise his role as James Bond by providing his voice and likeness (circa 1963). The game is being crafted as a third-person shooter in a similar vein to last year’s hit, Everything or Nothing, in which gamers assumed the role of Pierce Brosnan’s 007, only in From Russia With Love, players will have the opportunity to slip into the original Bond’s tuxedo.

EA are recreating a number of key moments from the film, but the game will also incorporate several original sequences, including a fiery face-off between a helicopter and a jetpack-sporting Bond set high above London’s Big Ben.

The game’s release date is subject to change, however Amazon.co.uk has placed UK listings online for three console versions.
