The rumour mill has been quietly buzzing about a little title known only as Bloodstone for a few months now.Singer Joss Stone has revealed she plays “a posh version of Paris Hilton” in the new James Bond game, Blood Stone.

She’ll be Bond girl Nicole Hilton, a socialite ‘it girl’ who works with diamonds. She found the role “kind of amazing”. “It’s a bit crazy to be a Bond girl,” shared Stone at an Activision press event attended by Christian Donlan for Eurogamer.

Stone had a full body scan for the game. “It’s mad,” she recalled. “It took, like, all day.”

The British (but you’d be forgiven for thinking American) singer has also written a song for the game in collaboration with David Stewart. It’s called “I’ll Take it All” and “it’s awesome”, according to Stone.

Blood Stone contains a mixture of third-person, cover-based shooting and vehicle pursuits. Vehicles, in this case, being cars and speedboats. Donlan was shown a car chase that required a target be rammed off the road, before cutting to a boat chase in Athens harbour with explosions galore.

The game also features a focus mode where time can be slowed to accommodate head shots.

Blood Stone will boast an entirely original story written by Bond screenwriter Bruce Feirstein. This follows 007 as he jets around the world in pursuit of a terrorist suicide group. There’s a focus on the diamond trade, too. Settings include Siberia, Athens and Istanbul.
