Last night, the creators of Hitman, IO Interactive, unveiled a sneak peek of their upcoming James Bond game, generating much speculation about who will be portraying Agent 007.
As a die-hard Bond fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when, back in 2020, we were first hinted about it, and this week, the news was officially confirmed: 007 First Light, formerly known as ‘Project 007’, will delve into the origin story of a young James Bond.
Afterwards, the game was formally unveiled during Sony State of Play last night, as demonstrated by a three-minute trailer that showcased the game’s narrative and mechanics.
It appears that the new version of Bond character, who strongly resembles a youthful Tom Cruise, is just 26 years old. M refers to him as “an unguided missile” or “a bullet with no specific goal.
Regarding the gameplay, you’ll notice elements typical of games produced by IO Interactive, including stealth and combat reminiscent of what you’d find in a Hitman game.
The entire trailer carries a vibe similar to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, as Bond engages in various physical altercations with some villains scattered throughout.
Certainly, the anticipation surrounding this game is immense, yet it’s the mystery behind who voices Bond in the trailer that seems to have captivated fans the most.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly waiting for IO Interactive to reveal the cast of their upcoming game, but I can’t help feeling confident that one familiar voice will be part of it – Patrick Gibson, who’s graced our screens in Dexter: Original Sin, The OA, and The Tudors.
It’s quite clear that the public is confident about Gibson potentially taking on the role of Bond. In fact, somebody has already edited his Wikipedia entry to reflect this assumption, though it’s important to note that these are all just rumors at this point.
If the gossip is accurate, 007 First Light could be Gibson’s debut venture into providing voice-overs for video games.
Currently, the Irish actor is quite popular due to his leading role in the Dexter prequel. Given his youthful age of 30, he could make an excellent candidate for a younger James Bond character.
On Friday, 7th June, when the game takes center stage at the IOI Showcase, we might find some solutions to our questions then.
