IGN's hands-on preview describes 007: First Light as a stealth-action Bond game blending stealth, fist fighting, and gadget use, with a vibe mix of Hitman, Uncharted, and Watch Dogs; three missions take players from Iceland to Malta; Switch 2 version delayed to summer, with other platforms launching May 27.
IO Interactive’s 007 First Light casts Bond as a hybrid hero inspired by Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan, letting players mix social stealth, gadget-driven tricks, and brawler combat in a tone closer to blockbuster action than pure Hitman. The game emphasizes purposeful pacing over sandbox scale, offering multiple playstyles and a Bond who can deescalate without over-relying on violence, with Patrick Gibson voicing the agent. It blends Hitman’s DNA with cinematic set-pieces and explores Bond’s outsider-with-belonging motif, releasing on PC, PS5 and Xbox on May 27, with Switch 2 following later this summer.
IO Interactive’s 007: First Light moves away from Hitman’s sandbox to a more linear, cinema-inspired Bond stealth-adventure. It emphasizes strong production values, a Bond-centric gadget kit and a “blag” dialogue mechanic, with on-rails set-pieces and measured combat that mix stealth and action. While it aims to capture the tone and spectacle of James Bond, questions linger about whether a younger Bond can fully nail the license, though the game promises flashy moments and broad accessibility. It’s releasing May 27 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Switch to follow.
