IO Interactive has officially unveiled their James Bond game 007: First Light, which will star a young James Bond before he even receives his double-O license to kill.

The game will be a story-driven, third-person action-adventure with an original story from the team at IO Interactive; it’s not tied to any of the previous films or based on any particular book. In it, we’ll meet a 26-year-old Bond as a rebellious Royal Navy air crewman who is recruited into MI6 for his instincts and heroism.

Check out the reveal trailer for the game below.

“With 25 years of experience in creating captivating action-adventure games with the HITMAN franchise, our studio has been energised with this monumental opportunity in harnessing that expertise in bringing 007 back to video games,“ said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. “We’re pouring our energy and passion for the franchise into creating a cinematic adventure that pushes the boundaries of what a James Bond game can be, while telling a fresh, new story. We can’t wait for players and fans to discover an experience tailor-made for them.”

The team at IO Interactive has revealed that some familiar faces will appear in the game, including M, Q, and Moneypenny, but there will also be new characters for whom we’ll have to wait to learn more about.

007: First Light is set to release in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2.
