Daniel Craig may have blown up his Bond in No Time to Die (2021), but the next 007 isn’t just on the way—he’s already in training.
IO Interactive’s upcoming game “007 First Light,” which debuted its first trailer in June, now has an official website, a plot synopsis, and more than a few clues about what fans can expect when they take control of the world’s most famous spy. And yes, it’s another origin story—but remember, this one’s interactive. Watch the official trailer for the game below:
“007 First Light is a thrilling narrative action-adventure game developed and published by IO Interactive,” the official website‘s description for the game reads.
“Follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6’s training program, and discover an origin story of the world’s most famous spy.”
“First Light” is a standalone take on the iconic character, with the tagline “Become 007,” inviting players to “discover a new standalone, re-imagined James Bond origin story, and the events that led an audacious young hero to become the best MI6 agent”, per the website.

Gameplay is being pitched as flexible and cinematic. “Embark on missions in breathtaking locations, drive iconic vehicles, and dive into a cinematic adventure in pursuit of a rogue agent who’s always been one step ahead,” the gameplay description adds.
Players are encouraged to choose their own playstyle: “Go silent or go loud. Whether fighting with fists or firepower, using gadgets to infiltrate, or bluffing your way past guards, the approach is entirely up to you.”
There’s even replayability baked in: “Test your skills and replay your favorite missions with additional modifiers, for endless espionage fun!”
