At the recent PlayStation State of Play showcase, IO Interactive took to the virtual stage to reveal the latest trailer for their upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light.
IO Interactive have reveal more stuff on the PlayStation blog, with this version of James Bond being the youngest players would have seen this character as, with him being only 26 years old, fresh from his stint as a NAVY air crewman and getting noticed by his future employers, the MI6, in a wholly original new story with new characters alongside the more iconic cast like M,Q and Moneypenny.
This would be quite a change of pace for the developer as the trailer does show some quite intense combat set-pieces, gadgets usage and even a driving segment by the looks of a yellow 1985 Aston Martin V8 Vantage being shown in a car chase.
It should be interesting to see how this game takes its direction and how much influence IO’s other series, Hitman, would have been taken on, to perhaps makes this 007 adventure the best one in the modern era.
007 First Light will launch for PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
