Like any good spy, 007 First Light's release is sneaking up on us. IO Interactive's James Bond action adventure launches in just a few weeks, and it seems the marketing machine is beginning its push.

Not only has the studio revealed the theme song and opening title sequence, it's now released a new overview trailer, focusing on the game's stealth, gadgets, and other systems that remind us a lot of the Hitman series.

Check it out:

Obviously, IOI is best known for its stealthy assassination sandbox, and that expertise can be seen all over 007 First Light.

Though the game clearly involves other elements like bombastic combat and driving, it seems that there will be missions that allow you to live out that very James Bond, undercover spy fantasy.

The trailer goes into how you're able to distract guards and enemies, bluff your way out of getting caught, and talk your way into new opportunities.

Gadgets are clearly a big part of the picture as well; you'll have access to a wide range of tools disguised as everyday objects, giving you plenty of ways to get through areas undetected or take out bad guys.

The video also brings up how you'll return to MI6 and will be able to catch up with the wider cast of characters.

Furthermore, the game includes several challenges presented as training missions, and completing these will allow you to unlock upgrades for your gadgets to make them more effective.

The Hitman DNA is really showing, and IOI even teases that 007 First Light will be getting some post-launch updates adding more content. It seems the studio will be supporting it as it has with Agent 47's series.

The game is due out on 27th May 2026. Are you excited for 007 First Light? Tell us in the comments section below.
