IO Interactive is hosting its first ever games showcase this week

Last night, IO Interactive announced 007 First Light, the studio's long-awaited James Bond game. As it turns out, IO Interactive has much more up its sleeve, with the company set to showcase a trio of games later this week as it transitions into being a game publisher, alongside a development studio.

The IOI Showcase will go live on the 6th of June as part of Summer Game Fest. During the event, IO Interactive will be showing off the latest updates for HITMAN: World of Assassination, and give us our first real look at 007 First Light, the studio's new original James Bond game.

On top of those two in-house titles, IOI will also showcase MindsEye. This game is being published by IO Interactive but developed by new studio ‘Build a Rocket Boy', which was founded by former Rockstar producer, Leslie Benzies.

The IOI showcase goes live at 6PM PDT on Friday. Unfortunately for those of us in the UK and Europe, that puts the live time at 2AM BST on June 7th for the UK, or 3AM CET for mainland Europe.

KitGuru Says: IO Interactive has blossomed since leaving Square Enix and now appears to be bigger than ever before. Hopefully this first showcase goes well, but due to the timing of it, I certainly won't be staying up to catch it live.
