Today's PlayStation State of Play event delivered our most substantial glimpse yet at 007 First Light, IO Interactive's highly anticipated James Bond title slated for 2026 release.
The cinematic reveal introduced a younger, inexperienced Bond just embarking on his career as a secret agent - a period never before explored in such depth.
Adding star power to the project, The Walking Dead's Lennie James has joined the cast in a currently undisclosed role.
The emotional trailer reveals Bond's tragic backstory - witnessing his parents' death at age 11 during a harrowing mountain climbing accident where they sacrificed themselves by cutting their ropes to save him. Young Bond then miraculously survived the descent alone.
Originally unveiled as Project 007 in 2020, details about IO Interactive's ambitious Bond project have been scarce until now. The developers have consistently emphasized this will be a completely original origin story rather than a film adaptation.
IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak recently teased ambitions for a full trilogy of Bond games, though this has temporarily shelved their beloved Hitman series. Excitingly, April's announcement confirmed the title will also launch on Nintendo's next-generation Switch 2 console alongside PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
