IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have officially showcased the title sequence for 007 First Light, which features the title song, sung by Lana Del Ray and David Arnold. Announced back in September 2025, 007 First Light is an upcoming open-world action adventure game featuring the British spy James Bond, developed by the studio behind the modern HITMAN franchise.
007 First Light is the first modern third-person action-adventure game based on James Bond, and it comes with the signature IO Interactive stealth and action gameplay mechanics that we all saw in the HITMAN series. This upcoming title features a fully original, re-imagined origin story of a young, 26-year-old Royal Navy air crewman who is recruited into MI6. Set in an exotic, dangerous world of espionage, similar to the films, playing Bond, players will travel all over the world and face dangerous criminals and obstacles.

As players and fans would have imagined, the title sequence of 007 First Light is a throwback to the classic Bond’s long-lived tradition of opening credits showcasing the game’s motifs and identity. Both the sequence and the song set the tone for the game with a modern yet classic flair. Offering striking visuals and a rich cinematic atmosphere, the sequence is filled with subtle references to different scenes with silhouettes and bright lights, with just the right touch of darkness. It looks perfect with the powerful voices of Lana Del Ray and David Arnold in the background.
