Watch the entire press event here:
A synopsis of the movie (and not its title, unfortunately) was released:
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
Last night on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Daniel Craig was asked if he would return as James Bond, 007 in Bond 25. He was happy to officially announce that yes, he will be back. He also said (although anything can happen) that he believes it is his last James Bond movie. See the clips from the BM Twitter feed below:

Wow!
Global interest and plausibility of a complex criminal conspiracy is peaking. Daily, the drip drip drip of information between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign and Presidency is consistent and amazing. If it weren’t for real daily news broadcasts and headlines, it might seem we are stuck in an unbelievable episode of House of Cards or a (slightly muted) James Bond movie.
Politics and results of this real world scandal aside, the next James Bond movie (tentatively titled Bond 25) should reflect the times now more than ever and should partially retreat from following the traditional Bond movie formula. Simply put: it’s too good to pass up.
