It seems the remaster plans are on hold as per known journalist and leaker Jeff Grubb (via VG247). As per Grubb, the publishers are delaying the launch because of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. The journalist mentioned this when a Twitter user inquired about the game’s status.
Goldeneye is still in limbo because of the war. 1 v 100's team lead left Microsoft. I don't know what that means for the game.
