007 First Light is a thrilling espionage action-adventure game from IO Interactive. Players follow James Bond as a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless recruit in MI6's training program and discover an origin story of the world's most famous spy. During a retrieval operation in Iceland, trainee aircrewman James Bond becomes the sole survivor after both helicopters are shot down. His defiant rescue of captive scientists catches the attention of MI6, and he is recruited into the revitalized 00 program. After months of training, Bond's team is ambushed by a rogue agent's assassins in Slovakia, killing and wounding several recruits. Bond's investigation uncovers a conspiracy involving Sir Nicholas Webb, an AI pioneer whose quantum supercomputer THEIA has been making fatal errors that Webb is covering up through terrorism. When Webb leverages stolen MI6 data for immunity, Bond goes rogue, teaming with thief Isola Vale to infiltrate Webb's Antarctic base and destroy his replacement AI, HYPERION. After a final confrontation with Webb's son Damien in the tunnels beneath MI6, Bond earns his 00 status and designates himself 007, vowing to track down Isola and recover the stolen THEIA core.
