007 First Light launches May twenty seventh with twenty four hour early access

IO Interactive has confirmed that its reinvention of James Bond, titled 007 First Light, will launch on May 27 at 4:00 PM Spanish time (8:00 AM in Mexico) for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. Players who pre-order the game will be able to access it 24 hours earlier, starting May 26 at the same time, getting ahead of other agents.

Glacier Engine and Tactical Stealth for the New Bond 🕵️

The Danish studio uses its Glacier engine, employed in the Hitman trilogy, to offer destructible environments and reactive artificial intelligence. 007 First Light focuses on stealth missions with freedom of approach, where Bond's classic arsenal and gadgets are integrated into a realistic physics system. The PC version will support ray tracing and variable refresh rates, while on consoles, stability at 60 fps in performance mode is prioritized.

Pre-order to Be the First to Die Elegantly 💀

As expected, those who pay in advance will be able to enjoy the experience 24 hours before everyone else. Because nothing says I'm a real spy like paying upfront to see how you fail the first stealth sequence and get detected within five minutes. At least you'll have plenty of time to complain on the forums before the day-one buyers arrive.
