IO Interactive has unveiled its upcoming James Bond game, "007 First Light," announced during Sony's State of Play. The game, developed as a follow-up to Project 007, features an origin story set on Nintendo Switch and other platforms in 2026. Unlike previous Bond titles, it takes inspiration from Hitman mechanics while presenting a fresh take on the character. The narrative focuses on early career highlights like Bond's Navy training. Meanwhile, the James Bond film franchise faces uncertainty as current producers transfer creative control to Amazon MGM Studios starting in 2025, with no new film or Bond recast announced yet.
