This week, gamers can look forward to an extensive preview of IO Interactive’s much-anticipated James Bond title, 007 First Light. PlayStation has confirmed a special State of Play presentation scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM GMT / 8 PM CEST, promising over 30 minutes of exciting new gameplay footage. This timing is especially considerate for European fans, as it avoids a late-night viewing.
Additional details shared via a PlayStation Blog post reveal that the livestream will feature a full demonstration of Bond’s inaugural mission as a recruit for MI6. Viewers can expect a variety of action-packed moments, including thrilling car chases, intense stealth segments, and dynamic shootouts. Furthermore, IO Interactive will provide commentary after the gameplay, offering insights into the game’s intricate espionage mechanics.
What to Expect from 007: First Light
With the experience of the Hitman developers behind it, fans have high hopes for 007 First Light. This title has been highly anticipated, especially since it was initially announced as Project 007 back in 2020. The game has only recently been revealed in more detail along with its official title.
Currently, 007 First Light is slated for release sometime in 2026. Hopefully, the upcoming State of Play will provide a clearer timeline for enthusiasts eagerly awaiting this adventure. Until then, anticipation builds as we prepare for the exciting livestream.
