IO Interactive has announced a new James Bond video game called 007 First Light.
"007 First Light is a brand new James Bond video game developed and published by IO Interactive." reads the official website. "Featuring a wholly original Bond origin story, players will step into the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status."
007 First Light will be revealed later this week, according to the studio. The reveal "will give a world premiere look at 007 First Light, featuring never-before-seen footage, and start a new era for James Bond in video game."

Finally. This has easily been one of my most anticipated reveals. IOI and 007 could be a match made in heaven. I guess we'll see in a few days.
Looking forward. IO Interactive are pretty good developers, just hope we don't get to suffer from the always-online crap of their newer Hitman titles.
Hmmmm, I wonder if Bond is modeled after Daniel Craig in this one, maybe the new future actor? A whole new look altogether?
As a huge 007 fan, can't wait!
For those wondering, this will be revealed at the Summer Gamefest event on Friday.
It'll actually be at an IOI showcase. It won't be part of SGF. Here's the YouTube link

Sorry! I assumed it was Summer Gamefest because the X account for thegameawards (which runs Gamefest) immediately reposted IO Interactive's post about the 007 First Light title being announced. Generally speaking, if they repost a game announcement/teaser, it means it will be at the showcase event.
Lol yeah don't worry, that's typically a very safe assumption. Tbh, it's kind of foolish to host a separate showcase within just hours of something as major as SGF. Would've had MUCH more of an audience at SGF.
