Activision Publishing has confirmed that it will release a game featuring Ian Fleming's seminal spy James Bond in 2010.

Speaking at a company earnings call, CEO Mike Griffith announced that the publisher will visit the franchise for the first time since acquiring the rights from Activision over three years ago.

During the conference, the exec also revealed that the publisher will release games based on its Tony Hawk and Spider-Man licenses, alongside several film tie-ins, in 2010.

"We'll launch also new games based on James Bond, Tony Hawk, and Spider-Man, along with games supporting the theatrical releases for Dreamworks' Shrek 4 and How To Train Your Dragon," Griffith said.

"In addition, as previously announced, we're planning to release an innovative property in the $4b action genre."

Activision originally intended to release a James Bond title later this year, but delayed the game to avoid direct competition with the forthcoming Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
