Under the careful guidance of IO Interactive, the long-awaited James Bond game by the masterminds behind the Hitman series allowed us a small glimpse into their super-secret project. Officially named 007 First Light from the long-ago announcement of "Project 007" way back in 2020, the full reveal is literally just a few days away, expected to be announced within the current week!
For years we have been speculating, dreaming, and downright hyped about what could be done with the James Bond license by IO Interactive. Honestly, it feels like a match made in espionage heaven, doesn't it? The studio's abilities in regards towards stealth, intricate level design, and creating the perfect atmosphere of being a ''super-spy'' feels tailor-made for a Bond-level adventure.
Mark those calendars as we suspect this major reveal is perfectly timed. IO Interactive is listed as a partner for Summer Game Fest 2025. Everything points to 007 First Light's official reveal taking place at the Summer Game Fest kick-off event this coming Friday, June 6, 2025. That's one to set an alarm for!
So, how Bond are we getting? An IO Interactive update declares that 007 First Light is "a wholly original Bond origin story." It seems we shall walk the smooth-shined floors of youth and less-polished time for some Bond, facing the trials of earning the right to wear the iconic "00" badge. Pretty promising, isn't it? There literally can come upon a world of developments interlaying with storytelling and character development.
The first major revealing at Summer Game Fest is sure to be among the very highlights, considering all the big news that will roll out. The anticipation has been growing in the gaming community for nearly five years now, with many feeling this could be *the* definitive James Bond video game experience. It would be fascinating to finally see what IO Interactive has been working on so much. All the best
