After many years of anticipation and making fans of the iconic spy series wait, Project 007 – the James Bond game developed by IO Interactive finally has an official title: 007 First Light.
And the good news is that the first reveal of the game will take place this week.
With the experience of creating the acclaimed Hitman series, IO Interactive has long been regarded as the brightest star in developing modern James Bond games.
The gameplay style is elegant, refined, and the ability to build unexpected scenarios from IOI has many in the gaming community excited about 007 First Light being a significant leap for this iconic action game series. While most previous 007 games primarily followed the blockbuster films or recreated famous movie scenes, 007 First Light promises to deliver a completely new experience. This is the origin story of James Bond, where players will take on the role of the iconic 00 agent. The project, initially known as Project 007, has had very little information revealed aside from the fact that it is a wholly original narrative.
The official X account of 007 First Light, managed by IO Interactive, recently posted an intriguing update: “A report on the game will soon be in your hands.” The accompanying image also confirmed that the official trailer for the game will be released within this week. With the Summer Game Fest event taking place on Friday, June 6th, there is a high possibility that this will be the moment when 007 First Light is introduced to the public. However, fans should keep their expectations in check, as the first trailer may only be a teaser that showcases visuals without any gameplay footage.
Since the disappointing release of 007 Legends in 2012, the James Bond brand has largely been silent in the gaming world. The fact that IO Interactive – one of the most prominent studios in the action genre – is developing 007 First Light has sparked a significant wave of excitement among fans, especially those who enjoy action games – raising expectations. If IOI maintains the quality they have shown in Hitman, then 007 First Light could very well become one of the most anticipated blockbuster games on PC in the coming years.
