Summary
- Game focuses on young James Bond's origins at MI6.

IO Interactive, the acclaimed studio behind the Hitman series, has launched 007 First Light, an action-adventure spy game on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This title marks a significant return for James Bond to video games, being the first canonical entry since 2012's 007 Legends. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also anticipated.
The game innovatively shifts focus to a younger, 26-year-old James Bond during his early days at MI6. Players will follow his journey from a hot-headed recruit to a seasoned agent, drawing directly from Ian Fleming's original writings. This narrative approach allows players to experience Bond's development before he obtains his iconic 'license to kill'.
007 First Light delivers a highly cinematic experience reminiscent of the Uncharted series. It intricately blends thrilling hand-to-hand combat, dynamic vehicle chases, engaging stealth sequences, and immersive exploration. This blend of gameplay elements positions 007 First Light as a potential contender for one of the greatest James Bond games ever created.
