Finally, it appears we will be getting a good James Bond game for current-gen consoles. Announced as 'Project 007' in 2020, 007 First Light is coming our way from the makers of the Hitman franchise, IO Interactive.

The game is an origin story made in collaboration with MGM, EON Productions, and Delphi. Featuring a young Bond as he earns his Double-O status and embarks on missions around the world, 007 First Light looks to use all the lessons IOI learned making the new Hitman trilogy and apply them to James Bond.
