007 First Light Director Teases Potential Sequel

Hakan Abrak, director of the upcoming James Bond game 007 First Light, has hinted at the possibility of a sequel. The game was first announced in 2020, and its development has taken several years. After a long period with no updates, 007 First Light is now set to release at the end of this month as one of the biggest game launches of early 2026. If the game is successful and well-received, a follow-up could be released in the future.

I was really excited to hear from Abrak at IO Interactive! They seem open to making another 007 First Light game, which is awesome. The big thing is everyone – both at IOI and Amazon, who now own James Bond – wants to make sure any sequel is really good. Luckily, Amazon already seems to love First Light, apparently they already think it’s a fantastic game! So, if players connect with the version of Bond IOI has created, a sequel could definitely happen. Fingers crossed!

Abrak believes Amazon quickly recognized the game’s potential. Since they invested in and now own the game, they were committed to ensuring high quality. Once they played it, they became strong advocates, and we really appreciate their support.

We’re committed to delivering high-quality work and stand behind everything we create. We believe Amazon shares that same dedication. Everyone is eager to see how this project performs, both the Amazon MGM portion and what IO Interactive is doing. We’re especially curious to see if the new character resonates with audiences and builds a dedicated fanbase. We’re fortunate to be in a position where we can choose projects we’re passionate about, so if this is successful and loved by the community, we’d definitely be open to continuing it.

There’s a lot of anticipation for 007 First Light, but it has a legacy to live up to. Previous James Bond games, especially the classic GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64, set a high standard. The series has been quiet for almost twenty years, as some later games weren’t as well-received. This makes 007 First Light a chance to bring James Bond back to the forefront of gaming, and that puts a lot of responsibility on the developers, IO Interactive.

The game 007 First Light will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC starting May 27th. A version for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is also being developed and is expected to release before the end of 2026.
