Overview

• IO Interactive and MGM are actively collaborating on 007 First Light, a wholly original origin story set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC in 2026.
• MGM’s only major directive to the studio was to avoid turning Bond into a “killing machine,” steering the game toward stealth and minimal gunplay.
• The game’s design features accelerated, forward-momentum gameplay to capture a young, impetuous Bond, diverging from Hitman’s methodical pacing.
• 007 First Light will stand apart from previous Bond titles and films by exploring the titular character’s early days as Agent 007.
• IO Interactive has discussed the potential for live-service mission drops and a trilogy of titles to extend the experience beyond launch.
