007: FIRST LIGHT

IO Interactive, the team behind the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy, has unveiled a new game that explores the origin story of the legendary agent known as 007, James Bond. This latest third-person shooter from the creators of the Hitman series brings to life the beginnings of Bond's journey like never before.

007: FIRST LIGHT (PS5)

007: FIRST LIGHT, the newest 007 game made in partnership with IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios, brings James Bond's origin story to life, featuring an all-original story penned by the folks who worked on the 007 movie universe.

The game's story revolves around James Bond before he becomes 007. MI6 is hesitant to promote Bond due to his reckless behavior, but Bond is determined to prove himself worthy of the 00 status. As he travels the globe, he works to hunt down threats to global security.

FIRST LIGHT, which shares DNA with the Hitman trilogy, is a third-person shooter game featuring unique gameplay mechanics that demand strategic thinking for successful infiltration and elimination.

The stealth-focused missions require careful planning due to the limited instinctive abilities, such as the capacity to fast-talk through enemy guards. 

In combat scenarios, players can employ various creative methods to take down opponents. While action disarms and throwing weapons can be effective, players must also devise inventive strategies to defeat heavily armed enemies that are harder to eliminate.

Apart from a wide array of weapons from handguns to heavy weaponry, mastery of gadgetry is the key aspect of FIRST LIGHT. One example is the famous Q Watch, which features a radar ping to find incoming objectives, a short-range laser for various uses, and others.

FIRST LIGHT includes exciting driving segments where you can drive iconic vehicles like the Aston Martin V8 from The Living Daylights, the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale, and the heavily-armed Aston Martin Valhalla. You will chase down enemies or escape from hostile forces, all in the spirit of enhancing the fun factor in this 007 experience.

If you're seeking a greater challenge, consider trying mission simulators. In these simulators, you'll complete various tasks to earn experience points, which you can use to purchase upgrades, skills, and outfits. You can also set a high score to showcase your abilities and prove who the top agent is. Expect more missions post-launch.

A 007 game like no other, FIRST LIGHT combines IOI's Hitman DNA with the world of 007, featuring unique storytelling, dynamic third-person combat, thrilling driving missions, and non-stop excitement for 007 fans to enjoy.

Time to show MI6 you're worthy of becoming a 00 Agent.
