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.
