'Dexter' Alum Patrick Gibson Voices James Bond in Video Game

On March 27, 2026, PlayStation's State of Play revealed gameplay and announced IO Interactive's 007 First Light will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC.
The studio's Hitman pedigree led Amazon MGM and Eon Productions to recruit IO Interactive, which set out to craft a completely original reimagined James Bond origin story to usher in a new chapter for Bond in gaming.
Gameplay mixes stealth and social mechanics, demonstrating Bond's use of MI6 quartermaster Q's rechargeable gadgets in combat and stealth, alongside bluffing and cinematic setpieces like car chases and airfield pursuits.
Casting announcements confirmed Patrick Gibson and a supporting ensemble including Lennie James, Priyanga Burford, Alastair Mackenzie, Kiera Lester, and Noemi Nakai in IO Interactive's first major Bond game in over a decade, with Gibson portraying a younger, 30-year-old Bond shaping a fresh franchise interpretation.
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak frames First Light as a '360-degree' Bond experience, with the Copenhagen studio previewers finding its composite mechanics promising yet noting playability remains the key challenge for Agent 007.
