For the Hitman devs, 007: First Light felt like "coming home" because James Bond has been an "inspiration" for so long

007: Last Light.

When Hitman developer IO Interactive announced it was making a James Bond game, it seemed like a perfect fit – after all, both Hitman and Bond share a focus on exotic locations, high-stakes stealth missions, and a dry sense of camp tying it all together. As it turns out, the studio felt pretty much the same way about moving onto 007 First Light.

"I'm excited to finally be at this point, being able to deliver all these amazing pieces of news with you," franchise art director Rasmus Poulsen tells GamesRadar+ in advance of today's 007 First Light State of Play.
