Earlier in 2021, a playable build for cancelled HD remaster version of 1997 first-person shooter GoldenEye 007 from developer Rare Studio for Xbox 360 consoles was leaked over file-sharing sites that anyone could play on consoles or PC.
A full list of Xbox Achievements for GoldenEye 007 has recently surfaced online and spotted by True Achievements, a site that tracks player's achievements for games on Xbox and these are reportedly obtained from live console servers.
According to True Achievements, GoldenEye Xbox Achievements have been unlocked by users "BigSheep" and "Xtinamcgrath" so far, which is Rare Studio's lead engineer James Thomas and community head Christina McGrath apparently.
Latest discovery of Xbox Achievements have lead fans to theorize that a potential re-release of GoldenEye 007 could be happening after all. An almost complete remaster of classic N64 game was canned by Microsoft due to licensing issue.
Twitter user Wario64 shared a list of achievements for GoldenEye 007 worth 1,000 Gamerscore on social media.

Because of misunderstanding between a young developer team and license holders, a deal for GoldenEye was never signed. Aside from James Bond license, likeness rights to Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean and others were to be renegotiated.
GoldenEye 007 getting re-released for modern consoles would be a great fan-service and help preserve such classic for another generation. However, until an official announcement is made by Rare or Xbox, nothing is set in stones just yet.
