007 First Light – Announcement Trailer

Earn the Number. In 007 First Light, play as James Bond, a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless new recruit, and discover an origin story for the first time. An all-new game experience from IO Interactive, coming in 2026.

What to Expect from 007 First Light

In 007 First Light, players will step into the shoes of a young Bond, a promising yet rebellious Royal Navy air crewman who is recruited into MI6. His sharp instincts and heroism in combat propel him into the agency’s rigorous training program for the once-revered and newly resurrected elite 00 section.

For the first time ever, fans will be able to experience Bond’s ascent at MI6 from a young 26-year-old recruit into a full-fledged espionage captured in the films. Bond’s adventures will take players all around the globe, coming face to face with allies and foes (or in some cases, both), while choosing how they overcome obstacles and challenges, whether it be with brute force, cunning guile, or charming wit.

Players will choose how to utilize Bond’s unique skills in combat, relationships, and the latest in Q’s technological gadgetry in his ascent to becoming 007. Along the way, they will meet familiar faces like M, Q, and Moneypenny. They will be introduced to new characters, including Bond’s mentor John Greenway, the mysterious Isola, and a whole new cast of villains.


007 First Light is available to wishlist now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and for PC on an IOI now will receive an exclusive in-game item for 007 First Light at the game’s launch and additional future rewards.
