John Carter: Warlord of Mars is adding James Bond’s creator for some reason – PCGamesN

No Time To Die the last James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig is out now in UK cinemas, and Bonds creator Ian Fleming isappearing in a game for the first time. Curiously enough though, itll be in next years John Carter: Warlord of Mars rather than a Bond game despite Fleming having no connection to the franchise.

John Carter: Warlord of Mars was announced earlier this year as a first-person action/adventure and was supposed to get a Kickstarter in April, but that seems to have been postponed. DeveloperTanglewood Games includes veterans from Fortnite and Sea of Thieves and the game is apparentlyset to be released in May 2022.

The game will be mostly set on Mars, but will also contain opening sections set during World War 2 as the story has been updated so John Carter is now a captain during WW2 rather than the American Civil War, and gets sent to Mars/Barsoom thanks to an experiment by the Nazis. The man in charge of the operation, Tanglewood has revealed, is none other than James Bonds creator Ian Fleming.

While Edgar Rice Burroughs is the creator of the John Carter of Mars series, Ian Fleming served as an intelligence officer during WW2, so its Flemings real-world experiences that the game is referencing. Not only was [Ian Fleming] a legendary author, saysFrazer Nash, managing director of the games publisherFNCPR Ltd, he was a genuine military man, accustomed to sending Britains bravest into extreme situations. Thats a quality that will certainly come to the fore in John Carter Warlord of Mars.

The release states that planning, scripting and casting [are] making strong progress and that the Kickstarter will be launching soon apparently. While there havent really been any notable John Carter games before, there have been a fair few James Bond games with the creators of Hitman working on a new one right now.
