After many years of waiting, James Bond returns to the game scene.
From the moment of the latest game with James Bond, this year this year will take place for 13 years when a project called 007 Legends has been launched. Nevertheless, he took one worst play with agent 007. Knowing a more worthy gaming adaptation.
This problem was solved by the Danish studio Io Interactive, which was known, especially in the Hitman series. The brand with the bald killer in the title role in some areas was openly inspired by Bondka. The key aspect of each episode was the secrecy and complex elimination of enemies, which are aspects that are definitely not strangers or agent 007. It is simply difficult for you to find a studio to develop a new game with James Bond.
James Bond in Slovakia
Therefore, when I was given the opportunity to take part in the closed presentation of Gamescom this year Gamescom Proncation of the first world of the game, there is nothing to think about. Shortly before the entrance to the IO interactive stand, I was welcomed by the original Aston Martin DB5, which appeared in several bonds, led by Goldfinger and Thunderball with Sun Connery in the title role.
In the traditionally more formal business, part of the fair, where you can usually see strictly unified kiosks of individual publishers only according to their logos, Io Interactive was inappropriate. In addition to the aforementioned cult car, Bond, the entire stand was stylized in the form of a movie. Just a new connection with all the finishes.

Even before the presentation, I knew that this would be a non -reputable demonstration. In practice, this means that the developers on a larger screen will show you an invisible game process from the game that you cannot personally try. Fortunately, in the case of a bond, this was not a pre -prepared video, but a reproducible excerpt in real time. It consisted of three parts.
Bond from Io Interactive is currently taking place.
The developers were the first to take us to Slovakia. No, this is not the beginning of some inappropriate joke in relation to our oriental neighbors. The demonstration really began with the entrance to the Castle Hotel, which adorned the Slavic flags and views of the tatra. After a short animation, dialogue in the car and looking at the young James Bond, led by actor Patrick Gibson, efforts on the imperceptible presentation of the castle, where a big holiday took place. Almost every moment this passage made it possible to recall the Hitman series, from which a new connection would be released, as expected.

The ubiquitous emphasis is played by the secrecy and efforts to lure or eliminate enemies by creatively. As in the case of Hitman, you can also expect rich variability at separate levels. You will need to use different ways and objects, whose proper use will allow you to quietly slip into the desired places. In short, as if Hitman suddenly grew up and became part of the British secret service.
Aston Martin in action
The second part of the mission showed another characteristic element of connections in the form of a car chase. Still on the territory of Slovakia, where the whole mission was held, agent 007 was sitting at the wheel of Aston Martin V8. The authors, obviously, did not choose a combination of this car and the environment. This is an obvious link to the bitch of the 1987 breath, in which James Bond with the participation of Timothy Dalton passes through the border of the then iron curtain from Czechoslovakia to Austria.
Nevertheless, there is currently a connection from the video game from Io Interactive, so you should think about the reality of the Cold War. Otherwise, it was a pleasant flashing in relation to the fans of the film. The pursuit itself was essentially a traditional impression. Note was played by the arcade model of the AZ driving model about the control itself, was especially important for the use of shortcuts and avoiding various obstacles.
The last part of the mission was focused on the presentation of excerpts of actions.
The fact that I missed a little and, as a rule, in the entire presentation, this is a demonstration of the equipment of the famous inventor Q. At present, I cannot answer how many unique technologies and amenities, which are also firmly related to the brand. I have no doubt that they will appear in a certain form, but the question is how much they will play the role. Nevertheless, they will certainly be able to refresh the car chase.
There are also tense moments
After the persecution was completed, the last part of the mission was launched, dedicated to the presentation of excerpts of actions. This was marked by traditionally tuned shootings from the point of view of the third side against the group of enemies. While Stlas has developers with a small finger, with a large number of moments of military operations that take their place in the game with James Bond, they still gain important experience.
And in some passages this was recognized. The shootings themselves did not act on their own. Nevertheless, the authors did not avoid a series of the greatest cliches, led by exploding cars and red barrels, the court pursuit of the aircraft during its capture and a subsequent jump without a parachute. That is, the moments that we have seen in games and films so many times that few will be impressed with them.

Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that this was only part of one mission, from which it is premature to draw some deeper conclusions. When all three main elements in the form of complex stealth, car shoulder straps and shootings that you collected together will receive a funny combination of content that you expect from the correct game connection. But what the developers will undoubtedly have to work on is optimization. The presented passage fought with relatively significant personnel downs, which were most noticeable in the automobile pursuit.
The game 007 First Light will be released on March 27, 2026 on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2.
