IO Interactive, best known for its Hitman franchise, has been working on the next 007 game, First Light. During this year’s Game Awards, the team announced that Lenny Kravitz would be lending his voice and likeness as the villain, The Pirate King Bawma.
“Bawma is the leader of Aleph, a vast black-market arms network operating across the Western hemisphere. By 17, he had risen through the ranks of modern piracy, transforming an abandoned ship graveyard in Mauritania into the foundation of his empire.”
The more I see of this game, the more I get excited to play. I have full confidence in the work of IO Interactive, and I look forward to seeing the team tackle something new. IO Interactive does amazing work with stealth, so I am looking forward to seeing what they do with action.
Play 007 First Light May 27, 2026. You can preorder First Light now.
