While this result is due to the popularity of the "James Bond" brand and trust in the creators of the Hitman series, it is also seen as a signal of interest in linear games against the backdrop of the dominance of large open-world projects.
Meanwhile, a negative news story has emerged around 007 First Light: a leak from an Indonesian rating agency led to the publication of a video with the final fragment of the game, which, according to sources, reveals the ending. Players are advised to be careful online.
The release of 007 First Light is scheduled for May 27, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The version for Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in the summer. The game will tell about the early years of James Bond and offer action with elements of stealth and freedom of choice in approaching missions.
