State of Play: New PlayStation games, reveals & more

State of Play September 2025: 007 First Light Game Play deepdive

PlayStation’s latest State of Play aired on September 3rd, 2025, and focused entirely on the upcoming James Bond espionage action-adventure game 007: First Light, expected to release in 2026.

IO Interactive treated us to 30 minutes of gameplay, showcasing Bond’s very first mission as an MI6 recruit. The footage includes stealthy on-foot sequences, intense shootouts, and high-speed car chases.

In our opinion, this is shaping up to be an epic spy thriller, one we definitely can’t wait to play!
