IO Interactive has released a new trailer for 007 First Light, which gives us a new look at the game’s key features. The new Rules of Spycraft trailer for 007 First Light pulls back the curtain on what it means to operate as a modern MI6 recruit.
The trailer unveils how 007 First Light puts creativity front and center through its Creative Approach gameplay. Built on IO Interactive’s spy-thriller expertise and designed to let players tackle objectives their own way, powered by quick-thinking improvisation. There are three ways via which you can complete your objectives. These are Spycraft, Gadgets, and Combat.
Here are more details about them:
Spycraft: Infiltrate spaces by reading your surroundings and staying one step ahead, eavesdrop to pick up intel, identify opportunities to access your objectives, then use bluffing and social stealth to move through guarded areas without raising alarms.
Gadgets (Q Branch): Build a mission loadout around tools that enable stealth, distractions, and creative problem-solving. In 007 First Light, James Bond will have access to the Q Lens (highlights useful information and hackable devices), the Q Watch (activates gadgets and interactions to divert attention or neutralize threats), the Laser Strap (can daze enemies, open up new paths, or create distractions using the environment), the Dart Phone (quietly moves enemies out of the way), the Smoke Pod (blocks visibility at short range), the Flash Mine (produces a burst of light to momentarily stun opponents) and more.
Combat: When stealth breaks, fight smart. Players can use the environment for close-quarters takedowns, rush their enemies before a shootout breaks out, or make use of their Focus to slow the moment for precision disarms and targeted takedowns. Weapons are flexible tools too; players can throw their weapon when ammo runs out to daze an enemy.
In 007 First Light, players will follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6’s training program, and discover an origin story of the world’s most famous spy.
Players will go on missions in amazing locations, drive famous vehicles, and experience a movie-like adventure while chasing a rogue agent who is always one step ahead. You can choose how to play: sneak in quietly or fight loudly. You will be able to use fists, guns, gadgets, or even tricks to fool guards.
IO Interactive will release 007 First Light on May 27th. You can also find its final PC requirements here.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
