007 First Light: IO Interactive’s CEO on honoring Bond’s legacy | First Look

James Bond, the world’s most famous secret agent, will return in the hotly-anticipated 007 First Light from @IOInteractive next year. Best known for their Hitman games, IO – along with franchise rights holder Amazon Studios – let us watch an extended first look at the game at Gamescom (shown publicly yesterday as part of Sony’s State of Play). Then we sat down with Hakan Abrak, IO’s CEO, to quiz him on the game, handling Bond’s legacy with care, and the visceral new combat mechanics glimpsed in the footage shared so far.
