Sony and IO Interactive presented over 30 minutes of 007: First Light gameplay and confirmed a March 27, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. The game follows a younger James Bond completing early missions and is developed by IO Interactive. Gameplay emphasizes stealth, multiple infiltration options, and problem-solving, resembling Hitman-style design. Digital pre-orders grant 24-hour early access. A $300 collector's edition includes a physical game, digital bonuses, a replica Golden Gun, gold bullets, and a display stand. The presentation showed noticeable performance dips and heavy motion blur in places.
On September 3, as previously announced, Sony and IO Interactive showed off over 30 minutes of 007: First Light, giving us our first real look at gameplay following some teasers and trailers. And at the end of the showcase-which featured Bond sneaking around, killing people, driving various vehicles, and causing mayhem-IOI revealed that First Light is launching on March 27, 2026 on all platforms.
if you pre-order any version of the game digitally, you get to play 24 hours "early." What is more shocking is the $300 special collector's edition of 007: First Light. This pricey package includes a physical copy of the game, some digital goodies, and a replica Golden Gun, as well as gold bullets and a stand to display them with.
It's been a long five-year wait for fans of Hitman who are hoping that First Light will play a lot like Agent 47's franchise. In today's State of Play reveal, it did indeed seem like this is very much a Hitman-style game, with multiple options for infiltrating areas and a big focus on stealth and problem-solving. However, the gameplay in the presentation also had moments that were marred by some nasty performance dips and a lot of motion blur.
