007 First Light Unveiled at PlayStation's 2025 State of Play

Coming 2026

IO Interactive, the award-winning creators of Hitman and the anticipated Mindseye, revealed 007: First Light during PlayStation's June 2025 showcase. This third-person action-adventure reinvents James Bond's early career through dynamic missions across breathtaking international locations.

Players will experience signature vehicles, adaptable mission approaches, and innovative gameplay systems, all powered by IO's Glacier engine. The PS5 version will leverage PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology.

A Fresh Take on Bond's Origins

This standalone narrative presents an untold chapter of Bond's transformation from Royal Navy airman to MI6 operative. At 26, our protagonist lacks the polished sophistication of later years - instead showcasing a raw recruit learning spycraft's moral complexities.

The story, developed with Amazon MGM Studios, introduces familiar allies (M, Q, Moneypenny) alongside new characters like mentor Greenway. Gameplay blends stealth, vehicular action, and gadget-driven espionage across diverse environments - from alpine ranges to tropical shores.

IO Interactive's proprietary technology brings this vision to life, delivering the most immersive Bond gaming experience yet. The development team is crafting a world that honors franchise traditions while establishing its own distinct identity within the 007 universe.
