We’ve known that IO Interactive was making a 007 game for a while, but now we get our first full trailer of the highly anticipated title, 007 First Light. In 007 First Light, you get a look at a re-imagined young James Bond as he is recruited into MI6. I love that the team at IO Interactive is taking us back. I am excited for the level of freedom the team will have since the movies haven’t explored these years much.
IO Interactive is well known for the successful Hitman series, and it’s exciting to see the team working on something new. They have years of experience when it comes to the stealth genre, and I can’t wait to see how they add action into the mix. For many, third-person action will be new for a 007 game, but from the looks of the trailer, this will be a great experience.
It does look like we will have to wait a little bit longer for 007 First Light. The game is slated to release in 2026 on consoles and PC. You can head over to the 007 First Light site and wishlist the game on your platform of choice. You can sign up for their mailing list and unlock some in-game items.
