IO Interactive has released a new video, showcasing not 10, not 20, but 30 whole minutes of gameplay footage from 007 First Light. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from this new 007 game. So, make sure to watch it.
In 007 First Light, 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.
In the video, we get two separate sections. The first one lasts 20 minutes, letting us experience Bond’s first mission in the field, where Bond and his teammates are tasked with catching the rogue agent 009. The second section is a 10-minute developer deep dive. This deep dive goes into more details about the game’s mechanics, gadgets, stealth systems, and combat.
IO Interactive has also revealed the game’s release date. According to the devs, 007 First Light will come out on March 27th, 2026.
Enjoy!
