Sure thing, let’s dive into this news, which is kind of buzzing in its own peculiar way. So, you know that game studio IO Interactive, the ones who gave us Hitman? Yeah, they’re finally spilling the beans on their new James Bond game, “007 First Light.” They’ve thrown a sneaky teaser on X, showing off some mysterious art — like, I tried to squint and make sense of it, but it’s just a shadowy figure. Classic Bond vibes though, right?
Anyway, they dropped an official statement — I had to double-check this because it sounded like PR mumbo-jumbo — saying we’re getting a “world premiere look” at this game with some never-seen-before stuff. They’re talking about a whole new era for Bond in the gaming world. Now, I’m not exactly sure what “this week” means anymore (time’s a construct or whatever), but with things like the Xbox Games Showcase and the Summer Games Fest happening, our suave spy might just make a cameo at one of these. Or not. Who knows.
Oh, and remember, back in November 2020, they told us about this? It was dubbed Project 007 back then, with promises of a unique Bond storyline. They’re hinting you’ll play to earn your 00 rank, which sounds kinda cool if you ask me. They didn’t spill much info, though. It’s like trying to find the last Pringle in the can — frustratingly elusive. But hey, they did mention it’ll be on some “modern systems and platforms.” Fancy words, but I reckon that means PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Don’t ask me about the Switch 2 though — your guess is as good as mine if it’ll land there.
Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh yeah, keep your eyes peeled as not-E3 week rolls around. More Bond goodness might just pop up. Or maybe I’ll just be refreshing my social feeds obsessively.
