IO Interactive Says 007 First Light Is the 'Ultimate Bond Experience' and 'Definitely Not a Reskin' of Hitman

IO Interactive revealed 007: First Light, a James Bond origin game, during the PlayStation State of Play livestream last night.
The game originates from original Bond elements and is not a film adaptation, focusing on a 26-year-old Bond earning his 00 status.
First Light’s trailer shows Bond driving a vintage yellow Aston Martin DBS, evoking series legacy and nods to past Bond stories and imagery.
The game will release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2, and IO aims for it to be the “ultimate Bond experience.”
Developers state First Light emphasizes action rather than stealth and may start a trilogy, marking a fresh but respectful take on Bond’s origin.
