Summary
Danish video game developer Io Interactive has released a new James Bond video game, entitled 007 First Light.
The game is a prequel, and the developers have created a new, original Bond not based on any of the movie incarnations.
The game’s title and artwork were released during Summer Game Fest 2025, and the face of the game’s Bond is yet to be unveiled.
Io Interactive aims to combine the atmospheres of the older Bond films with modern gaming capabilities, focusing on the espionage aspects of the franchise.
The game will likely be a thematic departure from their previous game Hitman, with its trademark comic violence and disguises. Awareness of the different mood of the Bond franchise means that this will be a more serious and espionage-focused game.
The game is likely to reflect the more gadget-focused espionage atmospheres of older Bond films, rather than the modern action-heavy movies.
