Hitman developer IO Interactive is keeping busy. In addition to a fantasy new IP, the studio is developing 007: First Light, a game previously known for its working title Project 007.
Announced in November 2020, First Light tells an origin story for James Bond. We haven’t seen any footage yet, but we’ve still learned a fair amount about the upcoming game. Read on to learn everything we know so far about First Light, including plans for it to potentially kick off a new trilogy.
When will First Light be released?
There is no word yet on when First Light will be released. It was announced in November 2020, and many took the reveal to be a specific strategy to encourage people to come work at IO on the IP. Announcing games early in development for the purpose of attracting talent is a comment practice in video games.
