'007 First Light' presents a younger, rougher version of James Bond, allowing IO Interactive to explore his character's depth. By delving into his narrative and portraying the dangerous nature of relationships in Bond's life, the game seeks to blend familiar elements with new storytelling. The franchise's art director notes that understanding Bond's roots, grounded in both films and literature, allows for a fresh depiction that aligns with modern gameplay experiences. This new Bond is portrayed as more relatable and aligned with player expectations, moving away from being an older, seasoned character.
"The interesting part about Bond is he's defined by the people around him, and the loss of people around him - that's why he can't get close [to people] because it's dangerous."
"Everything stems from our research into the DNA of the character, by really deep diving into the films and deep diving into the books to understand who Bond is, what drives him."
