007: First Light Unveils Film-Style Opening and Lana Del Rey Theme

The reveal signals a bid to win back Bond fans after a long gap since the last major game in 2012.

Overview

  • IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios premiered the official title sequence at the BAFTA Game Awards, confirming Lana Del Rey as the singer of the title track co-written with returning Bond composer David Arnold.
  • The game launches May 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for summer 2026.
  • Pre-orders are live with a free deluxe upgrade that includes 24-hour early access for digital editions, while Switch 2 pre-orders are limited to physical copies.
  • The sequence mirrors classic Bond openings with silhouetted figures and bold graphic motifs, and many viewers online mistook it for a movie intro.
  • The project frames a younger, less-experienced James Bond—reported to be played by Patrick Gibson—with Arnold shaping the title music and composing contributions alongside scoring duo The Flight.
