IO Interactive, the acclaimed studio behind the Hitman series, is set to unveil its long-awaited James Bond game, now officially titled 007 First Light, on Friday, June 6. This marks the first substantial update since the game’s initial announcement as Project 007 in 2020.

A Fresh Take on Bond: The Origin Story

007 First Light offers an original narrative, distinct from any previous films or novels, focusing on a young James Bond’s journey to earn his 00 status. Developed using IO Interactive’s Glacier Engine, the game promises a blend of stealth and action gameplay, reminiscent of the studio’s Hitman titles. Notably, this iteration of Bond will not be modeled after any existing actor, allowing for a unique interpretation of the iconic character.
