Since the game will offer an original story inspired by Ian Fleming’s short stories,007 First Lightcould offer something that the Bond films never could. Players can expect to embark on a single-player adventure through the titular Secret Service agent’s origin story, and what led him to earn his license to kill. Amazon has been supervising the project since the company’s MGM Studios acquired full creative and production rights to theJames BondIP back in February, which will also tie into the next wave of cinematic films, including the first feature thatDune’s Denis Villeneuve will direct.
