IO Interactive highlights spycraft, stealth and combat in new 007 First Light trailer

IO Interactive has released yet another trailer for its new game, 007 First Light. The new Rules of Spycraft trailer gives us a look at new gameplay, including new stealth and action sequences. 

Gameplay in 007 First Light is centred around a few key pillars – Spycraft, Gadgets and Combat. Spycraft sees players infiltrating spaces and eavesdropping to pick up Intel and identify objective opportunities. Gadgets enable stealth gameplay and creative problem solving. The Q-Lens highlights hackable devices while the Q-Watch can activate environmental devices to serve as distractions.

When you run out of options, sometimes the only way out is with a fight. For combat, Bond will have access to close-quarters takedowns and rush moves to take enemies out before bullets start flying. You will of course also have a gun, and if you run out of bullets, you can just throw the gun at the enemy instead.

007 First Light is scheduled to launch on May 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and Summer 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.

KitGuru Says: I'm looking forward to this game. IO Interactive kept players coming back to Hitman in surprising ways, so it will be interesting to see if they have anything up their sleeve for 007 First Light.
