Game developer IO Interactive has unveiled its highly anticipated James Bond narrative action-adventure video game during PlayStation's State of Play livestream on 4 June. Titled 007: First Light, the game promises to deliver an original origin story of the legendary British spy and is expected to release sometime in 2026 for PlayStation 5.
'Follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6's training programme, and discover an origin story of the world's most famous spy,' IO Interactive's website states. The storyline was developed in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios, which acquired creative control of the James Bond franchise for over $1 billion (£735,743,137) in February 2025.
