007 First Light Announced by IO Interactive, Reveal Coming This Week

Previously known as “Project 007”, IO Interactive has officially named its upcoming “James Bond” game as “007 First Light“. As stated, it will be an origin story where players will get to experience life in the footsteps of the renowned Secret Agent, eventually earning their “00” status, according to the official website.

A surprising unveiling is scheduled for later in the week, potentially happening during the Summer Game Fest exhibition on June 6th. IO Interactive has kept quiet about the gameplay and mechanics, but they’ve made it clear that this is an independent story with no connections to other James Bond media. However, the game will draw inspiration from various books and movies in the James Bond series.

The job postings suggest a combination of first-person and third-person gameplay, with an open-world narrative akin to IO Interactive’s acclaimed Hitman series. A launch date hasn’t been disclosed yet, but IO Interactive has confirmed that it will eventually come out on the Nintendo Switch 2. It might also be released on other platforms later in the week. Keep an eye out for further details until then.
