This video game was released on the same day as another James Bond video game, James Bond 007: Blood Stone (2010).
Dame Judi Dench is the only actor or actress from GoldenEye (1995) to reprise her role in this game.
This James Bond video game has been described as being a "reimagining" of GoldenEye (1995) and the video game GoldenEye 007 (1997).
"Goldeneye" is the nickname of James Bond Creator Ian Fleming's beach-front house in Jamaica where (between 1952 and 1964) he wrote the James Bond novels and short stories. He named it after the Carson McCullers novel, "Reflections in a Goldeneye".
Though Pierce Brosnan starred as James Bond in GoldenEye (1995), the character's likeness in this Bond video game is that of Brosnan's successor Daniel Craig.
