IO Interactive, developers of the much-beloved Hitman series, showed off its latest title, 007 First Light during a special September State of Play. In it, instead of a bald Agent 47, you play a youthful and immaculately coiffed James Bond — and that’s pretty much the biggest distinction between the two games. Watch the thirty minute stream here.
As in Hitman, First Light’s gameplay demo featured a fancy party at a luxurious estate, lots of slow walking to blend in with the crowd, listening to ambient conversation for clues, and, of course, lots of fancy cars to drive and inevitably wreck. Basically, what IO showed of First Light makes the game look like Hitman with a fancy 007 skin. Which, honestly, probably suits a lot of players just fine.
With the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, licensed games are making a big comeback. And while IO continues to update Hitman: World of Assassination with new missions and fancy new targets, it’s been four years since the last full Hitman release. 007 First Light seems like it’ll be a new way to scratch that spy thriller assassination itch and you won’t have to wait too long for it either. 007 First Light launches on March 27th on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch 2, and PC.
