This week’s State of Play presentation from PlayStation was hotly anticipated for a number of reasons. Many gamers were hoping that Sony would finally lift the lid on its standalone Wolverine title which has been in development for several years. What nobody saw coming was a new James Bond game from the team behind Hitman.
This is Bond as you’ve never seen him before — the youngest Bond fans have ever met. In 007 First Light, at only 26 years old, he isn’t the fully fledged 007 you know from the tux-and-martini days but a man with sharp instincts, sometimes reckless, who is still learning when to fight, when to bluff, and when to disappear into the shadows.
Watch the game’s announcement trailer in the player below:
In 007 First Light, Bond starts as a NAVY air crewman, when against all odds, an audacious act of bravery propels him on MI6’s most challenging training program. This training coupled with his natural instinct, wits, and heart will see him grow into a fully-fledged spy. It’s a completely original standalone story, developed in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios.
The game is set to release on PlayStation 5 in 2026. 007 First Light will be enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro, using PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and having optimized performance, with the game playable at 60 FPS in Quality Mode.
