MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is one of the best known film companies in America, with a host of very successful film IPs under its umbrella. Notable franchises include Rocky/Creed and James Bond, which crushed international box offices with No Time to Die.

MGM is currently in a period of transition, slowly being integrated into the ever expanding bundle of properties that is Amazon. As such, just like the company that is now its owner, MGM is looking to expand into new avenues, taking its film IPs in new and lucrative directions. One of those directions, as it turns out, is into the hands of gamers.

MGM wants to expand its IPs into video games, creating a series of new games based off its most popular titles. The company is already in the process of doing this, but is looking to hire a new interactive games director to kickstart the process. This person will be in charge of managing a stable of interactive games which MGM is already looking to create. Most prominently, IO Interactive is working on its Project 007, but other IPs are making their way into the gaming space as well.

While standalone AAA titles are certainly the goal of any company looking to move into video games, it is not MGM's only target when it comes to their IPs. Mobile games are also planned, which sounds like it could be a match made in heaven or hell, depending on how it's handled. The director will be in charge of finding developers for these projects. They will also cover commercial agreements covering things like the integration of MGM characters into other properties, with Robocop in Mortal Kombat 11 being a prime example of the goal.

Crossovers have proven to be big money for the parent companies of recognizable characters, with Fortnite showing how well it could work. As such, it would make sense if MGM wants to be on that boat. Considering Fortnite has skin cameos of Venom, Iron Man, and The Mandalorian all in one game, it's not unfeasible to imagine several James Bonds and Robocops there, or even the Pink Panther.

While MGM is still looking for outside partners to develop the games, with its integration into Amazon, it is possible that Amazon Games may be developing an MGM IP game some day soon. The DIrector must maintain connections with the rest of MGM after all, and that will soon fully include Amazon. Hopefully, the success that Jeff Bezos praised New World for carries over to the MGM game.
