IO Interactive Announces 007 First Light

IO Interactive has officially announced the new 007 game, 007 First Light. It will star James Bond and feature a new origin story. A full reveal of the game and its details is planned for June 6. It will be featured in the upcoming IO Interactive Showcase. As seen in the Switch 2 Direct, the game is currently confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 but other platforms are planned.

A message on the game’s teaser website reads:

“007 First Light is a brand new James Bond video game developed and published by IO Interactive. Featuring a wholly original Bond origin story, players will step into the shoes of the world’s favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status.”

Details for the upcoming IO Interactive game, MindsEye:

MindsEye follows Jacob Diaz, equipped with a mysterious neural implant, the MindsEye, that has left him with disjointed flashbacks of his time in the service. As Jacob fights to uncover the truth, he is drawn into a world where AI, high-tech experimentation, and unchecked military power impact every step of his journey.

Set in Redrock, a fictional desert metropolis in the not-too-distant future, MindsEye tells a story of artificial intelligence, human greed, and the battle for control, bringing Earth to the precipice of collapse. Players will explore a richly detailed world, uncovering hidden conspiracies while navigating a deeply personal and high-stakes narrative.

MindsEye delivers intense combat where every decision determines survival. Players will engage in third-person shooter encounters, facing enemies that coordinate attacks, flush them from cover, and swarm with overwhelming force. Success depends on quick thinking, tactical positioning, and using the environment and a companion drone to gain the upper hand.

Whether on foot, behind the wheel, or in the air, MindsEye keeps players on edge in a world which is constantly under threat.
