The story opens in Athens, Greece during the G-20 Summit. The story will take Bond across the globe, including stops in Athens, Istanbul, Monaco, Siberia and Bangkok, to try to unravel the conspiracy surround the disappearance of the weapon. He is assisted by M and along the way meets Nicole Hunter, a wealthy British socialite. As Her Majesty's best agent, James Bond is tasked to find the whereabouts of a missing project.
The game's story is set in the same universe as the recent Daniel Craig films. It is notable as the studio's last game before they closed their doors. The game also features 16-player online team-based multiplayer with an experience system, weapon and attire unlocks, and a unique "commander" system to display and reward the top players of each team. In addition to standard cover-based combat, the game also features vehicular chase sequences (which play similar to the studio's earlier Project Gotham Racing series). After foiling a suicide attack on the G-20 Summit in Athens, Bond is tasked to find the whereabouts of the plans of a top-secret biological weapon.
Released alongside GoldenEye 007, Blood Stone features an original story in the James Bond franchise and features the voice & likeness of Daniel Craig as James Bond, Judi Dench as M, and British singer Joss Stone (who also performs the game's main theme) as love interest (and fellow MI6 agent) Nicole Hunter.
