- The game will emphasize the action compared to Hitman‘s critical planning and stealth
- Said Abrak 007 First Light Will be “Ultimate Bond Experience”
IO Interactive has said that 007 First Light is “definitely not a re-skin” Hitman Despite their similarities.
Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive, spoke in a recent interview with IGN after the official disclosure of the James Bond game. First light will have a different tone than Hitman series.
“It is very, very important to get the humor right. In Denmark we love dark humor and silliness because it removes the seriousness of being a assassin,” said Abrak.
“Bond is different. Bond, the humor is first and foremost very British. And the humor that is to support the energy and his personality, which is much more ahead and center. So I would say less silly. It’s not flamingo apron that you said, but still entertaining.”
Abrak continued and said that 007 First Light “plays differently” from games in Hitman series and “underlining more action” compared to Hitman‘s Critical Planning and Stealth GamePlay.
“As if there are several linear parts where you have the glasses and exotic vehicles. And then we also give up space in the bond to open a little and breathe a little,” explained the CEO.
“It’s less of an analytical mind, chess games where you sit and carefully plan. All clockwork things in Hitman, where if you do this or do this, where Bond is more impulsive, more reckless sometimes. It’s more like he’s just taking things and dealing and handling it more when they arise.”
It’s hard not to compare the new James Bond play with Hitman. They are both agents, both games are third -person action games that take players across the globe to take on different missions. However, Abrak has promised that 007 First Light is not a copy-paste of Hitman And is “Ultimate Bond Experience.”
“So it’s another dynamic because we want to do something that feels true for a Bond fantasy,” Abrak explained. “So it’s definitely not a resin of a Hitman A kind of thing, but I feel people will see IO Interactive, it’s a game made by Interactive, but they also want to see that this game is something else. This is something that is true for what we will hopefully deliver 360, an ultimate bond experience. “
007 First Light is ready to launch in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
The action game will follow a 26-year-old James Bond, played by actor Patrick Gibson, in a reinstated story of origin that led him to become MI6’s best agent.
