In an exciting reveal, the first look at 007 First Light showcases a refreshed image of Bond. The youthful character resembles Patrick Gibson, known for his role in Dexter: New Blood. The trailer hints at a modern setting where Bond is portrayed as a young, defiant recruit in MI6, setting the stage for action-packed gameplay as he pursues a path to his 00 status.

The development was confirmed by Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, who noted that players will experience Bond’s journey before he dons the iconic tuxedo and enjoys his martinis. The game promises a mix of stealth and action in its narrative. Busy gamers can look forward to its slated release in 2026, accompanied by a more comprehensive gameplay reveal expected this summer.
