Ever wanted to be James Bond? 007 First Light — from the Hitman studio — lets you play his origin: young, sharp, and not yet the legend.
The fantasy of being completely in control
Real life rarely lets you feel unflappably competent. A great spy game does — it hands you a plan, a gadget and a room full of problems, and makes you feel clever for solving them. That sense of mastery and composure is a genuine mood-lifter, and no character sells it like 007.
Made by the right studio
IO Interactive spent years perfecting stealthy, systemic sandboxes in Hitman. Pointing that expertise at a young Bond — recruited into a revived 00 programme, with a rogue former agent as his first real test — is exactly the pairing fans hoped for.
Why grab it now
It is out today on PS5, Xbox and PC, so there is no waiting. If you want to spend an evening being the coolest, most capable person in the room, this is the cleanest way to do it.
