IO Interactive showed off the debut trailer for its James Bond game<\/a>, 007 First Light<\/em>, during Sony\u2019s State of Play on Wednesday, with a brief outline of the Bond prequel\u2019s story and IOI\u2019s take on the series\u2019 action. The 007 First Light <\/em>trailer reveal follows IO\u2019s announcement of the James Bond game\u2019s name<\/a> a few days prior, and comes ahead of the studio\u2019s planned gameplay reveal as part of Summer Game Fest 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 007 First Light<\/em>, follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6’s training program, and discover an origin story of the world\u2019s most famous spy,\u201c First Light<\/em>‘s official description reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said in a brief blurb following the trailer that First Light<\/em> takes place during Bond\u2019s transition from a career in the Royal Navy to his first spy job, as he takes on a mission big enough to earn him \u201c00\u201d status. Bond\u2019s supervisors called him a \u201cbullet without a gun\u201d who needs a job before he gets into trouble, so they task him with tracking down 009 \u2014 though, what methods he uses in the process depend on your preference.<\/p>\n

The trailer shows Bond traveling to a swanky hotel in the mountains, a nightclub, and a business convention, among other locales, in a blend of Hitman<\/em>-style stealth and the kind of explosion-laden action that often characterizes James Bond movie setpieces. Bond can sneak up on guards and dispatch them quietly, start gunfights, blow up a warehouse as a distraction, use charm and creative truth-telling to get out of tight situations or a combination of all that, depending on what you think is best in a given moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith 25 years of experience in creating captivating action-adventure games with the Hitman <\/em>franchise, our studio has been energized with this monumental opportunity in harnessing that expertise in bringing 007 back to video games,\u201d said Abrak said in a press release. \u201cWe\u2019re pouring our energy and passion for the franchise into creating a cinematic adventure that pushes the boundaries of what a James Bond game can be, while telling a fresh, new story. We can\u2019t wait for players and fans to discover an experience tailor-made for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

IO Interactive plans to release 007 First Light<\/em> in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n
