The countdown is on! IO Interactive, the studio behind the HITMAN series, is gearing up to showcase over 30 minutes of gameplay from 007 First Light during a special State of Play event on September 3.
This deep dive promises a thrilling look into James Bond’s origin story, packed with stealth action, and cinematic style. Fans of spy adventures and immersive storytelling should mark their calendars – this reveal could be one of the year’s biggest moments in gaming.
Gameplay and Features
The trailer for 007 First Light gave fans a first taste of what to expect. It showed Bond in action – sneaking through buildings, using weapons, and speeding through city streets in dramatic car chases.
During the State of Play September 3, IO Interactive will present over half an hour of deep dive gameplay, including Bond’s first mission and how he joins MI6. Viewers will also see how stealth, shooting, and driving mechanics work together. After the gameplay, the developers will explain their design choices and give more details about how the game was built.
Studio Background
IOI is famous for creating the Hitman series, known for its smart level design and stealth gameplay. Now, the studio is working on 007 First Light, a project that started as “Project 007” and has been in development for a few years. This game is important for both IO and the James Bond brand, as it tells a new story that isn’t based on any movie. Instead, it serves as a Bond origin story, focusing on his early life and how he becomes a secret agent. Unlike older Bond games like GoldenEye 007, this one dives into the formative experiences that shape the iconic spy. Fans are excited to see how IO’s experience with stealth games will shape this new adventure.
