007 First Light Makes a Bold Move by Retelling Bond's Origin Story
- IO Interactive announced 007 First Light, a James Bond origin game set to release in 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2.
- The game stems from the 2020 Project 007 and presents a wholly original story featuring a young Bond recruited from the Royal Navy to MI6.
- 007 First Light features a 26-year-old Bond learning espionage skills with stealth, gunplay, hand-to-hand combat, new gadgets, and a mission to chase 009.
- At PlayStation's State of Play, the trailer showed Bond meeting new M, Q, and Moneypenny, with Lennie James as mentor John Greenway who called 009 a 'master manipulator.'
- The original narrative and multi-platform launch suggest IO Interactive aims to start a new era of James Bond games, potentially initiating a trilogy of titles.
