007 First Light is an action-adventure James Bond game from IO Interactive arriving March 27 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam and Epic Games Store. Missions mix stealth and action, including tailing suspects, vehicle chases, explosive shootouts and environmental kills such as pushing enemies off ledges. A gameplay mechanic grants Bond a license to kill when enemies are about to shoot. Players can use distractions, gadgets and social manipulation, and will have multiple options to complete objectives à la Hitman. The main cast includes Patrick Gibson as 007 and several supporting actors. Pre-orders offer a free upgrade from the $70 base edition to the Deluxe Edition with 24-hour early access and exclusive outfits and weapon and gadget skins.
A PlayStation State of Play showcase all about 007 First Light shed some light on how Hitman developer IO Interactive's James Bond game works. The stream also disclosed what was, until now, a top-secret nugget of intel: the release date. 007 First Light is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam and Epic Games Store on March 27.
Some time later, Bond breaks into a car to chase down a target, which leads into an explosive shootout. In a neat touch, Bond is granted a license to kill when enemies are about to shoot at him. One of my favorite bits from the gameplay deep dive showed Bond pushing an enemy off a ledge and using the baddie to break his own fall.
In addition, IO Interactive revealed the game's main cast during the State of Play. Patrick Gibson ( The Tudors, Dexter: Original Sin) is playing 007. The cast also includes Priyanga Burford as M, Alastair Mackenzie as Q, Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny, Lennie James as John Greenway and Noemie Nakai as Miss Roth. What are the odds that at least one of those will turn out to be a double agent?
