James Bond is getting a new video game. It’s called 007 First Light. The people making it say it won’t be like other action games.
They talked to Jonathan Lacaille, the game’s director. He said they’re not copying Hitman or Uncharted. They want to make something new.
What’s it like?
The game’s makers, IOI, are known for Hitman. But this game is different. They’re using their skills to make a James Bond game that feels like James Bond.
Jonathan said, “We’re doing what IOI does best.” Fans of IOI will see their style in the game. But it’s not just about shooting. They want players to feel smart and sneaky like James Bond.
Driving and guns
The game has driving, which is new for IOI. They had to learn how to make it work. And guns are a big part of the game. But Jonathan doesn’t want it to be just a shooting game. He wants players to have tools to help them solve problems.
“We don’t want it to be just shooting,” he said. “We want players to feel clever and resourceful.”
The game is coming out in 2026 on OS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
