Overview

  • The game hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with preorders now available.
  • Patrick Gibson is confirmed as James Bond, joined by Priyanga Burford (M), Alastair Mackenzie (Q), Kiera Lester (Moneypenny), Lennie James (John Greenway), and Noémie Nakai (Ms. Roth).
  • Gameplay mixes open‑ended infiltration, conversation bluffing, and non‑lethal options with scripted action moments such as car chases, shootouts, and a midair escape.
  • Spy tools include a Q watch for hacking and a stun laser, environmental improvisation, and a context‑based “license to kill” that enables lethal force when threatened.
  • IOI opened preorders with a Deluxe upgrade offering 24‑hour early access and cosmetics and a $300 collector’s edition featuring a mini Golden Gun, while signaling ambitions for a future trilogy in a separate continuity from the films.
