007 First Light

Overview

007 First Light is a 2026 action-adventure video game developed and published by IO Interactive. Based on the James Bond franchise, it tells an original narrative inspired by the novels and short stories by Ian Fleming, and the film series starring the character. The game depicts James Bond's origin story, as he embarks on his journey to earn his 00 status.

Following the critical and commercial failure of 007 Legends (2012), publisher Activision had its non-exclusive licence to produce James Bond video games revoked, resulting in an extended hiatus of video games adaptations. IO Interactive announced the development of a James Bond game in November 2020. The game entered full production at IO Interactive following the completion of Hitman 3 (2021), and was fully revealed in June 2025.

007 First Light was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 May 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version scheduled for March 2027. The game received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics, with praise given to the gameplay, combat, writing, and Patrick Gibson's performance as Bond. It had sold 4 million units by August 2026.
