The Hitman games focus on stealth, cunning, planning, and improvisation \u2014 a perfect fit for the legendary spy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I recently went hands-on with 007: First Light across three missions, and saw first-hand how IOI has created a Bond game that combines action with a more thoughtful spy experience.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bond from the beginning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Unlike the Bond film series, 007: First Light tells a new story, set in the modern era, that delves into Bond\u2019s origins. When we first meet IO\u2019s take on James Bond, he\u2019s serving in the Royal Navy, a crewman on a mission in Iceland. Suddenly, missiles hit the two helicopters on the mission, and they crash on a nearby coastline. Bond makes it to shore and immediately finds himself sneaking past hostile mercenaries as they search for any survivors.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-418139\"><video data-poster=\"https:\/\/image.mux.com\/lyVM100jhn2S1V6LNvWRLJCjv012IpwMmYwPncHYQyiLY\/thumbnail.webp?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJseVZNMTAwamhuMlMxVjZMTnZXUkxKQ2p2MDEySXB3TW1Zd1BuY0hZUXlpTFkiLCJhdWQiOiJ0IiwiZXhwIjoxNzc3NjQ0MDA2LCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.KlF13K2655AZ4E5W8KOZyhFvR9UR0tCMXe32zwApBNa1QRUq_iZHOc8h0zebJsMySfD75TzgdvKJ84WAFEikQqbmCiQ-gCuIIOK-z2bRTrx_eI08cUelSI-0gnHvdz7nFrIb-_6sBS0AXRQEgBHnOd53iFHhK5VDw1hqg51TLvGmJdOSDmBAOSonBN_PvgXehEAE1FzzwzoB-Tlvo_04kwX866tiJxGNKGMl26gRDzkjNyxD4bCRivEy0apsWO-CltKxldG9AjHQjg4PkzkrwlNpPApZe6kZCml9ycvtCj6KHIB86lhLSKJhKoAh00TWcxmAAvbNEhxE8akIDxLXCQ\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stream.mux.com\/lyVM100jhn2S1V6LNvWRLJCjv012IpwMmYwPncHYQyiLY\/capped-1080p.mp4?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJseVZNMTAwamhuMlMxVjZMTnZXUkxKQ2p2MDEySXB3TW1Zd1BuY0hZUXlpTFkiLCJhdWQiOiJ2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzc3NjQ0MDA2LCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.dhZQ9YdY-TVIjeVTz8GesM5L4d23UFHvbnERqq5h7YXcbRc0KRlDLhIKmsHS2kBdD9IqmZuqKZJ8jJbIBi5r24O7vLluPqevAo8EjVltceKRzMu68F9Jgezj-MykTi4-uggu3JUBFb5LSlY2dAOyNa6g0Xwo26KILW35nC70saaJ_Aipe_agks9QdAms-G6DQH4ymDAjyGylBzDw5vchZYvGOZXO5apefKJ_gGWRqSej4FaJb4qdscCRcSf6b-iLsEvbMN_vKAn6iSDcvNkOTFhcdlwYoNIpSyfrDIdpyLE9jNXUvmGZ--OKJsDjh86k4huF8Scaume-GGlINPdqQw\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Before long, Bond is contacted via radio by an MI6 operative, and with no one else left, he\u2019s pressed into service to retrieve some mysterious item.
