007 First Light is an action-adventure about a young, reckless James Bond coming of age in an original origin story. Play involves infiltrating secure spaces, eavesdropping, using disguises and gadgets, along with more direct combat to push through this original spy story. It stands out for turning Bond into a playable espionage fantasy rather than just a shooter, mixing open-ended spycraft with cinematic set-pieces in a coming-of-age adventure.
Item 1 of 3
You play James Bond before he becomes 007. He's a resourceful but impulsive MI6 recruit moving through the agency’s training programme and into missions that test whether he deserves the number. It draws on the developers' sandbox espionage and assassination from their Hitman games, but adds lavish storytelling, set pieces and over-the-shoulder shooting and combat.
As you progress, Bond moves from trainee to field operative as missions shift between social infiltration, clue-gathering, guarded spaces and combat outbreaks. It's a globe-hopping adventure that takes you to London, Malta, Slovakia, Mauritania, Kensington, Vietnam and Antarctica. Unlike other Bond games, here you have multiple options to approach each scenario, where direct violence is often a last resort.
The results in a game that reimagines Bond as someone still learning how best to use his charm, sneaking, fighting or improvisation. It spends the time to flesh out the important characters and details for a James Bond adventure, while ensuring the play remains fun and compelling.
