"Years after it was first revealed as Project 007, IO Interactive's James Bond game, 007 First Light has been showing off a lot more of what to expect throughout 2025. A 007 stealth game by the developer of Hitman was always something to be excited about, but recent announcements give an idea of how similar and how different the two secret agent simulators will be."
"An announcement trailer in 2025 showed off not only 007 First Light 's impressive visuals, but also a bit about what makes this James Bond different from others and what players can expect from the game. The Bond seen in the game is young, brash, and reckless, described by his superiors as "a bullet without a target." The trailer shows explosive shootouts and chase sequences both on foot and behind the wheel, while hinting at a few of Bond's new gadgets."
"007 First Light is set in the modern day and, as you would expect from any James Bond story, takes place across multiple locations around the world, though IO Interactive hasn't said exactly where we'll be going. The reason for Bond's globe-trotting mission is a search for 009, a rogue agent who's described in the trailer as a "master manipulator." Other than that, it's not clear exactly what he's up to."
IO Interactive will show 30 minutes of 007 First Light gameplay during a State of Play showcase on September 3. The game is slated for release sometime in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. An announcement trailer in 2025 highlighted impressive visuals and framed Bond as young, brash, and reckless, described by his superiors as "a bullet without a target." Gameplay emphasizes explosive shootouts, on-foot and vehicular chase sequences, new gadgets, and capture-and-escape scenarios. 007 First Light is set in the modern day across multiple global locations and centers on a mission to find rogue agent 009, described as a "master manipulator."
