IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is the focus of PlayStation’s next State of Play, scheduled for September 3rd at 11 AM PT/8 PM CEST/7 PM BST. It will receive over 30 minutes of new gameplay, covering the action-adventure title’s first mission.
As a fresh recruit in MI6, this is effectively Bond’s first mission, but it promises the same “high-speed car chases,” “on-foot stealth sequences,” and gun battles that the franchise is known for. The development team will also provide some “insights” after the gameplay reveal, and maybe shine some light on the release window.
007 First Light is scheduled to launch in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. As an origin story set in a “completely original” universe, it follows James Bond in his early days with MI6, developing into the suave superspy of legend.
While it borrows several familiar elements from IO Interactive’s Hitman series, players will have more options available and even engage in Free Flow combat. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
