Overview

• IO Interactive is developing 007 First Light as an original origin story due in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC.
• MGM’s sole mandate was to avoid making Bond a killing machine, prompting a focus on minimal shooting.
• Sandbox levels will let players improvise with disguises, gadgets and environmental traps for non-lethal stealth play.
• Design adjustments will infuse faster-paced action to reflect a youthful, impulsive Bond rather than Hitman’s patient approach.
• Live-service elements may introduce new missions after launch, echoing IO Interactive’s model in the Hitman series.
