The PlayStation State of Play dedicated to 007 First Light took place overnight and we got to see 30 minutes of gameplay footage. We also know that the game is releasing on March 27th on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The core gameplay experience seems to follow that of the Hitman franchise (which makes sense given it’s the same team and fits the Bond experience so well). Spycraft is the toolkit in the game that you. can use to make your way through missions, Instinct represents Bond’s natural quick thinking nature in the form of slow down, Gadgets is a huge arsenal that will unlock as the game progresses and obviously Combat will let you take down enemies silently or all guns blazing.
Something that is totally unique to 007 First Light over the Hitman games is the driving experience with us getting a good look within the 30 minute gameplay demo.
The cast for the game was also revealed and includes:
- Patrick Gibson as James Bond
- Priyanga Burford as M
- Alastair Mackenzie as Q
- Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny
- Lennie James as Bond’s mentor, John Greenway
- Noemie Nakai as Miss Roth
Those that pre-order the game will get the Deluxe Edition which includes 4 exclusive outfits, 24 hours early access, a weapon skin and a gleaming skin pack as well.
There is also a $300 USD (~$460 AUD) collector’s edition that includes a Golden Gun figure along with a stand and secret compartment, a certificate of authenticity, a steel case with magnet and the full game on desk and all of the items in the Deluxe Edition. There’s no word on if that one is coming here yet.
