"When will First Light be released? There is no word yet on when First Light will be released. It was announced in November 2020, and many took the reveal to be a specific strategy to encourage people to come work at IO on the IP. Announcing games early in development for the purpose of attracting talent is a comment practice in video games."
"One of the big new hires for First Light is Rodrigo Santoro, a former Ubisoft veteran who joined IO in 2024 to become missions director for the James Bond game. Santoro said he was happy to join IO to work on the James Bond game, saying most companies are making sequels, so he's excited for a new challenge. Preorder First Light Preorders for Project 007 are not available yet, but whenever that happens, we'll report back with a preorder guide."
"So far, the only video for First Light was the announcement sizzle clip that was released when the game was announced in 2020. It showed very little, but does borrow the popular styling and official music for the James Bond series. In June 2025, a new teaser image was revealed, showing the new James Bond wielding a gun and wearing a trenchcoat. The game will be officially revealed this week, and we'll report back with more details when they arrive."
