IO Interactive has released a novel story trailer for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, debuting on the official PlayStation blog.
The game offers a fresh take on the origins of the iconic secret agent, exploring Bond’s early days before he earned his signature tuxedo and martini preference. Players will assume the role of a young, somewhat rebellious recruit entering the 00 program. The initial stages of his journey unfold in the frigid landscapes of Iceland, where his exceptional skills quickly attract the attention of MI6 and M, who recognize his potential as an agent capable of succeeding where others fail.
The narrative plunges players into a global conspiracy fueled by clashing ideologies. Bond’s instinctive and improvisational approach will contrast with the strict discipline of his instructor, John Greenway. The true test for the new 00 program arrives with the pursuit of 009, a former British agent who has defected to the enemy. This mission will take players across diverse locations around the world:
- The Carpathian Mountains: Quiet, mountainous terrain ideal for stealth operations.
- Aleph: A dangerous black market controlled by the unpredictable Bawma, portrayed by Lenny Kravitz.
- Iceland: The location where Bond first comes to the attention of intelligence services.
From a gameplay perspective, IO Interactive is leveraging its expertise, blending the immersive atmosphere of espionage with the spectacle of blockbuster action films. 007 First Light will feature a mix of linear narrative segments and expansive open-world locations, granting players considerable freedom in how they approach objectives.
