IO Interactive’s long-awaited spy thriller, previously codenamed Project 007, has officially been titled 007: First Light. After three years of limited updates since its initial 2021 reveal, the studio confirmed plans for a full unveiling imminently.

A teaser visual accompanying the announcement depicts a silhouetted figure widely speculated to portray the iconic secret agent. The shadowy aesthetic aligns with promotional claims of establishing a “reinvented approach to Bond in interactive entertainment”.

Creative director Hakan Abrak previously emphasized the project’s ambitions, stating: “It’s a Bond we built from the ground up for gamers. It’s extremely exciting with all the tradition and all the history there is… to work on this together with the family [and create] a Bond that the gamers can call their own and grow with.”

Positioned as an origin story, the title aims to launch a potential three-part narrative arc distinct from cinematic interpretations. Development updates confirm platform availability for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware alongside other systems, though release timelines remain unannounced.
