If you enjoyed 007 First Light as much as we did, then after the game’s finale, you’ll likely only have one main question left: will there be a sequel, 007 First Light 2?
Will there be a sequel to 007 First Light 2?
Ultimately, 007 First Light feels less like a one-off adventure and more like the beginning of a much larger spy saga. So, naturally, the big question right now is simple: will there be a sequel to 007 First Light?
At this point, it’s difficult to say for sure whether there will be a second 007 First Light game, as the developers at IO Interactive haven’t announced anything about it. However, after playing the first game, it’s clear that this is a major stepping stone for the franchise, whose story will be explored in future games.
Warning! Spoilers ahead.
The ending of 007 First Light hints at a sequel.
Yes, there will be a sequel to 007 First Light, as that game tells the origin story of the new James Bond in a potential trilogy.
Near the end of 007 First Light, Bond nearly drowns alongside villain Damien Webb. Just then, Roth, a French agent, dives to retrieve the THEIA core that Damien was attempting to steal. Although she dives again to save 007, Roth ultimately betrays Bond and escapes with all the MI6 data contained within the core.
Following the events surrounding the MI6 infiltration, Bond and M meet at Greenway’s grave. There, Bond says that this isn’t over. This potentially points to the capture of THEIA or the elimination of any further problems associated with it. Since most of the main characters from 007 First Light are alive and in leadership positions, it’s clear that M and Bond may be pursuing the client who sent Isola.
To confirm this, M also hands Bond his first ID card. Shortly after, he gives us that classic 007 smirk, and the James Bond theme plays. After the bullet hole scene, a black screen appears. White text appears on it: “JAMES BOND WILL RETURN.”
Studio head Hakan Abrak has already expressed his ambitions for the franchise. IOI confirmed its desire to expand the James Bond franchise into a comprehensive trilogy. After completing a new James Bond origin story and several stunning 007 First Light missions, we can expect a sequel in the near future.
When might the sequel to 007 First Light come out?
In fact, it’s difficult to say exactly when the sequel to 007 First Light might be released. The game has just been released, and everything depends on its success, despite the fact that it has already been purchased by over 1.5 million players worldwide .
But even if the game gets a sequel, 007 First Light 2 won’t be released until 2030. And that’s assuming the developers use the game’s core, as IOI spent over seven years developing the first game.
