In a thrilling update from the recent Xbox Partner Preview event, IO Interactive revealed a new trailer for their eagerly anticipated James Bond game, 007 First Light. Although it wasn’t an extensive showcase of gameplay or a behind-the-scenes look, it spotlighted a crucial aspect of Bond’s world: his iconic car.
Introducing Bond’s Aston Martin Valhalla
The brief, fifty-second trailer features Bond’s Aston Martin Valhalla, a vehicle that stands out even without its secret agent modifications. The narration by Q, a beloved character in the Bond universe, highlights its exceptional features. IO Interactive’s senior global communications manager, Yann Roskell, described it as “Inspired by the groundbreaking Aston Martin Valkyrie and infused with advanced Formula 1 technologies, the Valhalla showcases aerodynamic mastery, race-derived engineering, and exquisite craftsmanship.” Limited to just 999 units globally, this supercar represents the pinnacle of automotive innovation.
The Essence of James Bond
Although fans might have hoped for a deeper exploration of the game’s mechanics similar to previews from September’s State of Play, Bond’s charm lies in his taste for gadgets, attire, and vehicles. These elements are intricately woven into the allure of the character, and it’s clear that IO Interactive is dedicated to capturing this essence.
As anticipation builds, enthusiasts eagerly await more in-depth insights into what 007 First Light will offer. The game is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on March 27, 2026. That said, hopefully we don’t have to go too long before getting a more detailed dive into what we can expect from the game ahead of its release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on March 27, 2026.
