007 First Light is a 2026 action-adventure video game developed and published by IO Interactive. Based on the James Bond franchise, it tells an original narrative inspired by the novels and short stories by Ian Fleming, and the film series starring the character. The game depicts James Bond’s origin story, as he embarks on the mission he must complete to earn his licence to kill.
Following the release of 007 Legends (2012), publisher Activision had its non-exclusive licence to produce James Bond video games revoked, resulting in an extended hiatus of video games adaptations. IO Interactive announced the development of a James Bond game in November 2020. The game entered full production at IO Interactive following the completion of Hitman 3 (2021), and was fully revealed in June 2025.
