007 First Light Official Launch Trailer

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios today debuted the launch trailer for 007 First Light, IO Interactive’s standalone, reimagined James Bond origin story. 007 First Light is set to release on May 27, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and in Summer 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders are available now*, and players who pre-order 007 First Light will get upgraded to the 007 First Light – Deluxe Edition for free, granting a 24-hour Early Access**, as well as exclusive in-game skins and outfits.

In 007 First Light, James Bond (portrayed by Patrick Gibson) steps into the world of espionage after catching MI6’s attention, beating the odds in a precarious situation in Iceland. Bond finds an unexpected advocate in M (Priyanga Burford), who sees his ability to stay in control under pressure and backs his judgment in the field. That confidence is tested by John Greenway (Lennie James), a former 00 agent and the program’s hardline training instructor, whose disciplined, by-the-book philosophy clashes with Bond’s instinctive, improvisational style. When the rogue return of 009 becomes the 00-Programme’s first real test, Bond is set on a journey across the world, pursuing leads from the quiet Carpathian Mountains to the dangerous black market of Aleph, and into the lair of the unpredictable Bawma (Lenny Kravitz).

007 First Light puts creativity front and center through IO Interactive’s Creative Approach gameplay, following Bond across exotic but dangerous locations as he enters the world of espionage. Players can tackle objectives through stealth, direct action, or a mix of both, powered by four gameplay systems:

  • Spycraft that rewards observation: eavesdropping on key conversations, pickpocketing vital items, and uncovering environmental clues to open new pathways.
  • Bond’s Instinct gives players a versatile edge to lure enemies, bluff their way out of suspicion, or sharpen focus for precision in combat.
  • Q Branch gadgets expand tactical options for hacking, lock cutting, distractions, elimination, and quiet takedowns.
  • When stealth breaks, combat is fast and fluid, blending impactful close-quarters takedowns with ranged gunplay and an escalation that reflects Bond’s measured use of force, up to his Licence to Kill.

Replayability continues beyond the story, with Tactical Simulation (TacSim), a replay-focused mode set in an MI6 secret facility. TacSim will open with the first two missions at first, then will be fully accessible once players complete the game, to replay challenges in other levels. TacSim challenges players with modifiers in scored missions and progression-driven unlocks, encouraging experimentation, mastery, and new ways to approach each scenario.

With only 6 days to go until 007 First Light launches, players will be invited to experience Bond’s reimagined origin story and earn the number on May 27th.

007 First Light is releasing on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow later this Summer 2026. 007 First Light is available in Standard, Deluxe, Collector’s, and Legacy Editions. More details can be found at https://ioi.dk/007firstlightgame.
