IO Interactive promised a reveal for 007 First Light, its original title in the James Bond franchise, on June 6th. However, it seemingly couldn’t wait with its first trailer debuting at the recent State of Play. Check it out below.
As an origin story, First Light follows a younger Bond, who’s smart and hungry, but also reckless. Joining as a recruit for MI6, he embarks on missions to earn his iconic number. There are a hefty number of cinematics, but some small peeks of gameplay are also visible which callback to the Hitman DNA.
Bond can pickpocket from people, scan his environment, sneak about while crouching, toss devices onto enemies, and even take down threats. Of course, he’s not afraid to go loud, engaging in CQC and harnessing handguns and assault rifles in combat.
007 First Light is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, with a gameplay reveal due this Summer. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
