New Look At 007: First Light Takes Us Back To Beginnings

We now have a closer look at the new Bond Game, which appears to take us back to the earliest days of the world’s most famous spy. 

Today’s State of Play finally gave us a close-up look at 007: First Light, the upcoming James Bond game coming to us from iO Interactive. 

At the risk of veering into hyperbole, it looks pretty amazing. 

Many longtime Hitman players have highlighted how well-suited the developer might be for tackling the James Bond mythology, and today’s trailer certainly backed up that suspicion. The third-person action title seems to borrow liberally from what we’ve seen in the Hitman games, but definitely has an active and fast-moving pace that establishes a unique identity. 

 

From a storytelling perspective, this new installment takes us back to Bond’s earliest days in the spy service, and the tagline “Earn the number” suggests he won’t even have that familiar 007 designation as the game begins. We see a handsome younger version of Bond offering up plenty of swagger and confidence with the ladies, but the trailer also shows off some high-octane action sequences. 

We also learned that 007: First Light is on track for a release in 2026. We don’t have full details yet on platforms, but its prior announcement appearance confirmed the game for Switch 2, and today’s appearance during State of Play confirms we’ll also see the game on PS5. We’d be surprised if the game didn’t also make an appearance on Xbox and PC, but that remains to be confirmed.
