A PlayStation State of Play showcase all about 007 First Light shed some
light on how Hitman developer IO Interactive's James Bond game works. The
stream also disclosed what was, until now, a top-secret nugget of intel: the
release date. 007 First Light is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S,
Nintendo Switch 2, Steam and Epic Games Store on March 27.

The State of Play included a partial playthrough of the first mission, which
sees Bond stealthily tailing a suspicious bellhop through a fancy hotel. Some
time later, Bond breaks into a car to chase down a target, which leads into
an explosive shootout. In a neat touch, Bond is granted a license to kill
when enemies are about to shoot at him. One of my favorite bits from the
gameplay deep dive showed Bond pushing an enemy off a ledge and using the
baddie to break his own fall.

Bond uses all the tricks of the trade, including distractions, gadgets and
sweet talking NPCs. As with the Hitman series, you'll have plenty of options
as to how to complete your objectives. Being a Bond project, of course
there's plenty of product placement too. You can read more details about what
to expect from the game in our preview.

In addition, IO Interactive revealed the game's main cast during the State of
Play. Patrick Gibson (The Tudors, Dexter: Original Sin) is playing 007. The
cast also includes Priyanga Burford as M, Alastair Mackenzie as Q, Kiera
Lester as Miss Moneypenny, Lennie James as John Greenway and Noemie Nakai as
Miss Roth. What are the odds that at least one of those will turn out to be a
double agent?

Pre-orders are open now. If you do lock in a pre-order for the $70 base
edition, you'll get a free upgrade to 007 First Light ΓÇô Deluxe Edition,
which includes 24 hours of early access, as well as exclusive outfits and
skins for weapons and gadgets.
