The excitement is palpable as we approach Summer Game Fest, and today marks a significant announcement that has gamers buzzing. IO Interactive, the acclaimed studio behind the HITMAN franchise, is set to unveil their latest project—a new James Bond game titled 007 First Light. We’re anticipating the reveal at the SGF showcase this Friday, streaming live at 4pm CT.
As the official Twitter for 007 First Light states, “007 First Light is a brand new video game developed and published by IO Interactive. Featuring a wholly original Bond origin story, players will step into the shoes of the world’s favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status.”
It’s worth noting that with IO Interactive at the helm—known for their immersive, third-person gameplay—007 First Light is likely to set a new standard for action games. While fans of the classic Goldeneye 007 may be hoping for a nostalgic FPS experience, this title aims to carve its own path.
Such collaboration seems promising, especially considering that Bond’s new rights holders at Amazon MGM Studios also appear to support this venture. The hype surrounding the game’s reveal is certainly warranted.
As someone who has yet to watch a single Bond film (yes, really), I’m intrigued by how this game might serve as an introduction to the franchise for newcomers. Should I dive into this origin story, or start with the Daniel Craig films? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Get ready for more news about 007 First Light as the weekend approaches. Be sure to tune in to Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, streaming live on YouTube starting at 4pm CT on June 6.
