- The game is set to launch in 2026 and will be available on Xbox, PC, Switch 2, and PS5, with no release date announced yet.
- IO Interactive, the developer behind Hitman, has been working on the James Bond franchise since 2020, making this announcement a long-awaited moment for fans.
- The game’s debut trailer suggests it has some Uncharted vibes, indicating a potential shift in gameplay style for the series.
- IO Interactive is hosting a showcase event on June 6th to reveal more about the game, with an appearance by First Light expected to take place during the event.
Sony’s showcase had a pleasant surprise: the debut trailer for 007 First Light. The James Bond game — which has some definite Uncharted vibes — doesn’t have a release date, but is slated to launch sometime in 2026. And while it was announced at a PlayStation event, the debut trailer confirms it’s coming to Xbox, PC, and the Switch 2 in addition to the PS5.
The game appears to be an origin story, as players will follow a much younger version of Bond, at least compared to the films. Hitman developer IO Interactive announced that it was working on the franchise way back in 2020, so it’s been a long wait to see the actual game in action. The announcement also comes at an interesting time for the franchise overall, which is now under the Amazon umbrella.
You’ll also be able to see more of the game very soon. IO is holding a showcase event on June 6th at 9PM ET, which will include an appearance from First Light.
