007 First Light's first trailer shows off an action-packed James Bond game

IO Interactive has been teasing its next project outside of Hitman for some time now, and even before its first-ever showcase that's happening soon, the James Bond game showed up during the PlayStation State of Play event today. Dubbed 007 First Light, the third-person action-adventure title received a trailer showing off the new face of Bond, some of his gadgets, and plenty of action. Catch it above.

While inspired by novels of Ian Fleming as well as the movie franchise, First Light will follow Bond to reveal just how he earned his MI6 007 role in an all-original story by IO Interactive. James Bond will be just 26 years old in this iteration. While not the smooth and tactical agent with a martini that we've seen in the movies just yet, this Bond is described as a man with "sharp instincts, sometimes reckless, who is still learning when to fight, when to bluff, and when to disappear into the shadows."

As expected from the Hitman developer, missions in 007 First Light will offer both stealth and loud options, depending on the player's actions. A variety of futuristic gadgets will be available for use as well, while driving portions are also confirmed for the title.

"In 007 First Light, Bond starts as a NAVY air crewman, when against all odds, an audacious act of bravery propels him on MI6’s most challenging training program," says the studio, regarding Bond's beginnings. "This training coupled with his natural instinct, wits, and heart will see him grow into a fully-fledged spy. It’s a completely original standalone story, developed in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios."

The studio says that the game will take players across the world, from snow-drenched mountains to sun-soaked beaches, while interacting with some of the most iconic characters in the franchise, including M, Q, and Moneypenny. There are original faces in the story too, such as Bond's mentor Greenway.
