New “007 First Light” Trailer Premieres at PlayStation State of Play

Ah, so this new James Bond game, 007 First Light – ever heard of it? I mean, I stumbled across its trailer at Sony’s State of Play. Funny how things pop up, right? Anyway, IO Interactive, the brains behind this, gave us a sneak peek. They’d teased the name just days before. Typical, right? Build the suspense and all. But hey, Summer Game Fest 2025 will spill more beans. Just saying.

So, picture this: young Bond. Rookie days, you know? MI6 newbie trying to get his bearings. They call it an origin story. But let’s be real, it’s James Bond, not your typical office newbie. Hakan Abrak, IO’s top dog, mentioned it’s about the time Bond swaps his sailor cap for spy gear. Fresh out of the Navy! Off he goes on a mission that earns him those iconic double zeros. His bosses think of him as a “bullet without a gun.” Relatable? Maybe. He’s gotta find 009, but how he does it? Up to you.

Oh, and the teaser? Bond’s jet-setting: a hotel on some snowy peak, hitting a nightclub, mingling at conventions. Total globetrotter vibes. It’s a mash-up of sly Hitman stealth and those louder-than-life Bond explosions. Sneak up on a guard here, light up a warehouse there. Or sweet-talk your way out. Options, my friend, options.

Abrak – again with the quotes – says they’re channeling their Hitman smarts into this Bond gig. Seriously pumped about it. Says they’re redefining Bond games with their own flair. Sounds ambitious, right? Like, they really want players to feel it’s tailored just for them. Guess we’ll judge that part ourselves.

And when can you dive in? 2026. Mark your calendars. It’ll be on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X. A bit of everything for everyone. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
