007 First Light Specialist Edition

IO Interactive took everything they learned building Hitman's intricate stealth playgrounds and aimed it squarely at James Bond. The 007 First Light Specialist Edition for PlayStation 5 is the result: an original origin story starring a young, unproven agent earning his license to kill.

Patrick Gibson voices the 26-year-old Bond on his most important MI6 assignment yet. Lenny Kravitz brings antagonist Bawma to life while Gemma Chan plays original character Dr. Selina Tan. The narrative pulls from Fleming's novels and the film franchise without being a retread of either.

The Specialist Edition upgrades the standard release with Deluxe Content, the Classic Tuxedo Outfit, and exclusive game packaging. It's the sweet spot between base game and the full Legacy Collector's Edition for players who want a little extra without going all in.

On PS5, this is the kind of first-party-quality third-party game that justifies the hardware. Bond has never had a studio this talented behind the controls.
