James Bond fans were expecting big news out of CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week, but it was something of a letdown when Amazon didn’t announce any new cast members or details about the Bond film in development. Practically nothing is known about the next James Bond movie in the works at Amazon, other than that Denis Villeneuve (Dune) is directing with a script from Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). While some fans have pushed for big A-list stars like Henry Cavill or Idris Elba to take over the mantle of 007, this potential casting has been repeatedly thwarted, with reports claiming that Amazon is looking for a much younger actor with the legs to carry the franchise for the next 10–15 years. That doesn’t mean we won’t get to see some big-name villains, though.

Fans anxious for more James Bond content don’t have to wait long, though, which comes as a relief considering Villeneuve’s Bond film may not be released until later in 2028 or 2029. Game developer IO Interactive has been working on a new James Bond game, titled 007 First Light, for quite a while now. After years of development, it’s finally been confirmed that the new James Bond game will be released on May 27, just over one month from today. This afternoon, IO Interactive released what may well be the final trailer for 007 First Light, showcasing new gameplay and missions in the game. Fans are elated at what they’ve seen from the new trailer, as it confirms that there will be multiple paths to complete objectives and get through missions. 007 First Light is shaping up to be one of the biggest AAA video game releases of the year.

What Is the New James Bond Game About?

Plot specifics about the new James Bond game are still being held under wraps, but it has been confirmed to follow a young Bond, fresh out of the MI6 academy and looking to make a name for himself. Fans can expect to see a game that’s more ike Casino Royale than any of Daniel Craig’s other James Bond movies. Starring in the lead role of James Bond in 007 First Light is Patrick Gibson, who recently played a young Dexter Morgan in the now-canceled Paramount+ prequel, Dexter: Original Sin.
