IO Interactive has teased a reveal at Summer Game Fest later this week for 007 First Light, their long-teased James Bond title.
IO Interactive just teased that their James Bond title in a Twitter post:
“#EarnTheNumber in 007 First Light, a new game by @iointeractive. Mission brief is headed your way soon. Stay tuned for more information. #007FirstLight“
The game was originally teased back in 2020 as Project 007. Not much else has been known about the game, so fans can look forward to the curtain finally being pulled back this week. Summer Game Fest’s live-stream on Friday is the most likely place to finally catch a glimpse of what this game is.
The last James Bond-related release for Xbox fans was the addition of Goldeneye 007, the Nintendo 64 classic, back in January of 2023:
Nintendo undercut Xbox’s Developer_Direct to announce that GoldenEye 007 is coming out on January 27th. Xbox swiftly followed up with tweets and a blog post detailing the release. You can find the blog post there. Here’s what the devs had to say:
Today we can announce a date for GoldenEye 007’s arrival on Xbox Game Pass, and you won’t have to wait long: the global launch date is January 27, 2023, just a few days from now. In fact the rollout begins late on January 26 in some territories, becoming available to players all over the world by January 27.
The version of GoldenEye 007 set to appear on Xbox Game Pass is the classic game that made waves in 1997, based on the movie that introduced audiences to a thrilling new era of James Bond. It comes packed with objective-based stealth shooter gameplay and, of course, a legendary local multiplayer mode for split-screen showdowns with friends. It also offers a few key additions for a modern audience, including alternative control options, achievements to unlock and native 16:9 resolution up to 4K Ultra HD (where supported).
GoldenEye 007 will be available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as part of Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, players who own a digital copy of Rare Replay, the 30-game compilation of Rare games made to celebrate the studio’s 30th anniversary, will be able to download and enjoy the game free of charge. Watch for it breaking cover on January 27!
