Forget tuxedos on the big screen — 007 is slipping into digital shadows. After Daniel Craig’s grand finale in No Time to Die, the world’s most iconic spy is getting a full reboot... in a video game. And not just any game — it’s being crafted by the team behind the Hitman series. Yes, IO Interactive is taking Bond out for a spin in 007: First Light, and no, it’s not business as usual.
Details are still under MI6-level lockdown, but one thing’s clear: this isn’t a recycled Bond. IO promises an "original Bond origin story," meaning no Connery, no Craig, and likely no Martini clichés — at least, not yet. The face? Still a mystery. Speculation swirls around whether gamers will shape their own Bond, but don’t hold your breath for a character creator just yet.
With a full reveal just around the corner, 007: First Light is shaping up to be a bold reinvention of the Bond legacy — one pixel at a time. No cinema, no cast announcement, no shaken-not-stirred routine. Just pure espionage, reinvented for a new generation. And if IO’s Hitman record is anything to go by… expect a license to thrill.
