‘007 First Light’ sequel will happen but it might look very different

The game has reportedly sold more than 2million copies in a week

After selling more than a million copies in 24 hours, Amazon has confirmed a 007 First Light sequel will happen – but it might look very different.

Hitman developers IO Interactive started work on 007 First Light in 2020 after getting the green light from long-serving franchise custodians Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson. However, while the game was being made, Broccoli and Wilson gave creative control of all things James Bond to Amazon as part of a £790million deal .

IO Interactive’s self-published Bond game 007 First Light was released last week. As well as racking up some very positive reviews, the game shifted more than 1.5million copies in its first 24 hours.

In a new interview with Polygon , head of Amazon Games Jeff Gattis confirmed that sequels will happen but they “theoretically [will be done by] Amazon Game Studios.”

“We did not [make First Light ]. We do have a stake in it because we now own the IP but that IP acquisition happened after the First Light IO deal was already done,” he added.
