The newly released 007 First Light lets players step into the shoes of a rookie James Bond before he officially earns the iconic 007 status within MI6

IO Interactive has released 007 First Light, its new take on the James Bond franchise, with the game now rolling out across platforms.

007 First Light: Details

The game follows a younger version of James Bond before he officially becomes Agent 007. The story begins with Bond serving as a naval air crewman whose actions during a heroic mission earn him a place in MI6’s revived Double 0 programme. However, after an operation involving a rogue agent goes wrong, Bond is pulled into a larger conspiracy tied to a coup.

 

The campaign is designed as a standalone origin story that explores Bond’s early years as an inexperienced but highly capable recruit. Players will travel across multiple international locations while taking part in espionage-focused missions involving stealth, combat, driving sequences and gadget-based infiltration.

 

The game also allows players to approach missions in different ways. Depending on play style, encounters can be handled through stealth, direct combat, deception, or the use of spy gadgets. Alongside the main story, the title will include replayable missions with additional modifiers and challenges.
