First trailer for new 007 video game released

IO Interactive, the award-winning studio behind the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, has today officially unveiled 007 First Light a new, standalone, story-driven action-adventure game offering a fresh reimagining of James Bond’s origins. Set for release in 2026, 007 First Light will be available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

007 First Light introduces players to a young Bond, a talented but rebellious Royal Navy air crewman whose sharp instincts and heroism see him recruited to MI6. The game follows his entry into the agency’s legendary, newly re-established elite double-0 programme, marking the beginning of his journey to becoming 007.

For the first time, fans will be able to experience Bond’s early days within MI6, exploring how a promising 26-year-old recruit is forged into a fully fledged spy. Set against an immersive backdrop of global espionage, players will travel to exotic locations, encounter formidable allies and enemies, and navigate challenges with brute force, cunning guile, or charming wit – the choice is theirs.

A third-person action-adventure title, 007 First Light blends IO Interactive’s hallmark stealth and combat mechanics with the rich narrative world of Bond and MI6. Players will be able to leverage Bond’s unique skills, navigate complex relationships, and utilise the latest technology from Q Branch in his ascent to becoming 007. The game also introduces a host of new characters, including Bond’s mentor John Greenway and the enigmatic Isola, alongside familiar faces such as M, Q, and Moneypenny.

The game is available to wishlist now for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store and Amazon.com. Players who sign up for an IOI account now will receive two exclusive in-game items for 007 First Light at the game’s launch, along with additional rewards in the future.
