15 Bold Predictions For 2018's Biggest Video Games

5. Telltale Releases A James Bond Series

The Prediction: The latest addition to Telltale's growing cachet of lucrative episodic adventure series will be James Bond.

Why It Will Happen: Telltale has publicly expressed interest in a James Bond episodic series for years, and earlier this year a "leak" suggested that a 007 game called Solstice was already in production.

It's clear that the Telltale train isn't slowing down any time soon, and Bond is such an easy fit for their formula that it's frankly surprising it hasn't happened already.

Why It Might Not: The leak could easily be fake, and the only confirmed unnamed Telltale game due for release next year has already been stated to be a new, original IP rather than based on an existing franchise.

And maybe, just maybe, Telltale realises they're biting off more than they can chew and decides to put this idea on the back-burner for a while? Nah, probably not when there's money to be made.
