007 First Light Story

007 First Light tells a new standalone origin story for James Bond (played by Patrick Gibson in the game). Bond starts out as a Royal Navy air crewman whose brash antics get him noticed by the MI6. He is then recruited by the intelligence service, trained, and sent on missions in a globe-trotting adventure you can expect from a James Bond story. Over the course of the story, you will earn Bond's “00” status.

The game will feature a mixture of gameplay styles, including spycraft, stealth, gadgets, and third-person shooting and melee combat.
