James Bond 007 First Light: What to expect

Previously teased as Project 007, the game now carries the final title 007 First Light. The developer has hinted at an origin story for the spy, with the tagline #EarnTheNumber, suggesting players will control a younger James Bond as he earns his 007 status.

 

 

The full reveal, including more details and gameplay insights, is expected at the IO Interactive Showcase on June 6 at 9 PM ET (June 7 at 6:30 AM IST). According to The Verge, 007 First Light’s protagonist may also feature during this livestream event.

 

  The game is built around an entirely original narrative, not based on any existing Bond films. IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak has previously stated that the company hopes this game will mark the start of a new trilogy, as reported by TechRadar.

 

IO Interactive is also known for its work on the Hitman franchise and the upcoming title MindsEye.
