007 First Light has revealed its forged, and turns out everyone was precisely proper about who performs James Bond within the upcoming recreation.
IO Interactive correctly lifted the lid on its James Bond recreation earlier this week with a PlayStation State of Play exhibiting off gameplay and its March 27, 2026, launch date (with our 007 First Light preview arriving alongside it). And with this new reveal, IO lifted the lid on the forged of the sport, with the likes of Andor actor Alastair Mackenzie taking part in Q, The Thick of It actor Priyanga Burford taking part in M, and Ruby Talking actor Kiera Lester taking up Moneypenny.
And naturally, IO lastly revealed who’s taking part in James Bond himself. From the second we received our first look at the game earlier this summer, almost everyone immediately realized it’s Dexter: Original Sin lead Patrick Gibson (not me, I think he looks exactly like Robbie Williams). And now IO has confirmed (via IGN) that sure, you have been proper, Patrick Gibson is James Bond in 007 First Light.
Alongside Bond and the returning characters, IO Interactive has confirmed that The Strolling Lifeless actor Lennie James will play Bond’s mentor, Greenway, whereas Tokyo Vice actor Noémie Nakai will play a personality known as Miss Roth.
Apparently, the very first pitch of 007 First Light featured a extra acquainted face as Bond, as IO modelled Daniel Craig onto Agent 47 to pitch the sport. However I would not count on to see Craig in First Light, as the devs have gone by way of “all of the supply materials” to nail their very own model of James Bond.
007 First Light comprises a few of “the most important” missions Hitman developer IO Interactive has “ever finished” earlier than, which might make it one of many studio’s greatest video games but.
