007 First Light ranks among the most eagerly awaited games of 2026. IO Interactive, long celebrated for crafting inventive sandbox environments in the Hitman series, is applying that expertise to a youthful James Bond — and the latest trailer spotlights his principal ride: the Aston Martin Valhalla.
The Valhalla in First Light is far from stock. IO Interactive has equipped the car with an arsenal of covert upgrades — concealed armaments, defensive systems, and a suite of bespoke gadgets — positioning it as a practical “sidekick” for the younger Bond at the center of this original storyline, according to the studio.
Video games have been an enduring part of Bond’s legacy, with classics such as GoldenEye 007, The World Is Not Enough, Everything or Nothing, Nightfire, Bloodstone, From Russia with Love, and Quantum of Solace all leaving lasting impressions. Unlike many past entries that adapt film plots or established incarnations of Bond, 007 First Light tells an original origin-style tale: a mission that will earn this James Bond his license to kill.
007 First Light is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC on March 27, 2026.
