007 First Light will be a less open and faster game than Hitman

007 First Light It is the newest game based on the most famous spy of pop culture. Although it is being developed by IO Interactive – studio responsible for Hitman – Fans can expect a very different experience from agent 47.

According to director Jonathan Lacaille, although the new game incorporates elements of the franchise Hitmanas multiple approaches and the creative use of gadgets, First Light It will have a much faster pace. The proposal is to reflect a young, impulsive and more likely to act under pressure – in contrast to the methodical and patient style of Hitman.

“Hitman, if you think about it, is a very open space game, where you get in a methodical way, telling the milliseconds until the guard passes – it’s a game that requires a lot of patience. In First Light, the character – in a way – it’s young and a little reckless, and sometimes it doesn’t have so much patience. fast.

If the other game is more methodical, this will be more about making you think fast under pressure, offering many options – and you need to decide: go right or left? Face all the guards? Compromise your coverage? We are always pushing the player forward. In this sense, the game will probably not be so open. There are open moments, but there are also more linear parts, and this is always done because in this game – unlike [Hitman] “We’re telling a story, so we need to guide the player for her.” “

When asked if MGM, the company owner of the brand 007, had some requirement regarding this adaptation of the character, the director states that they only made one request: “Don’t turn it into a killing machine!” However, the company was quite open to the ideas of IO Interactive.

007 First Light will arrive in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S and Nintendo Switch 2.
