@gamingislive22 How come?

@ExpectingMrBond Oh no am not a fan of him and am belgian

Belgian DJ Dimitri Vegas will appear as an NPC in #007FirstLight. Best known from Tomorrowland and the duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, he might even bring some of his music into the game. How does that sound?

@AbbhirajxNag Now looking forward to the launch trailer or more post launch details 💪

@ExpectingMrBond I was literally thinking of this. Just 2 & a half months of waiting🥲

Happy former #007FirstLight release day for those who celebrate!

@gamingislive22 I feared they announced another brief delay for a moment ;)

@ExpectingMrBond me i was hoping for some news today from IO

@StavroFortBR Great to see so much love and anticipation 👍🥳! The wait is over soon

@ExpectingMrBond As a Bond fan of over 20 years, I can't wait for the release. I can't even count how many times I've seen the gameplay.

With DJ Dimitri Vegas announced as an on-stage NPC in Aleph, one of the last location mysteries in #007FirstLight may be solved. Looks like the nightclub Bond visits is located in Aleph — and even the lighting colors in the footage seem to support it

@007GameIOI @dimitrivegas Sounds like an interesting IOI comeback ;)

Dimitri Vegas enters the stage in #007FirstLight. The beat drops in Bawma's Kingdom of Aleph. Are you ready to join the crowd and catch the set? Pre-order now and get a free Deluxe Edition Upgrade bit.ly/007FirstLightP… @dimitrivegas #EarnTheNumber #DimitriVegas #TomorrowlandWinter

Fun fact: Dimitri Vegas appearing in #007FirstLight isn’t his first collaboration with IO Interactive. In Hitman World of Assassination, he portrayed Alexios Laskaridis, aka “The Drop” — a DJ-turned-crime boss hunted by Agent 47. In 007 First Light, however, he seems to play a different character — or possibly himself. youtu.be/rllsgzAUFRc?is…

A bit of all of the above.

This year Easter brings a mix of energy across our studios, from quirky creativity, to cozy, family-filled moments. 🐣 Each of our five studios found their own way to celebrate and spend quality time together. While in Brighton that meant a Hitman vs Easter Egg sip & paint session, in Copenhagen we welcomed our devs’ smallest guests for a family day of drawing, egg hunt, and even a very cute race. It was about connection, unwinding, and a bit of fun. Even in the busiest of times, we try to create these moments of care and shared memories across our studios. Take a peek at what the team has been up to. Happy Easter, everyone! #LifeatIOI #easterfun

@IOInteractive Looks fun! Sadly, Blofeld wasn’t invited to the party

I'm delighted to announce that @PatrickGibson00 will be at @MCMComicCon #Birmingham on 8th & 9th August 2026. Further info here: dmjconsultancy.co.uk/upcoming-event… #PatrickGibson #007FirstLight #JamesBond #DexterOriginalSin #ShadowAndBone #TheOA #BeforeWeDie #UK

Not a problem solver, more of a problem eliminator. Happy birthday to Timothy Dalton.

Happy birthday to Ursula Andress, seen here in her role as Honey Ryder in DR. NO.

@AbbhirajxNag Yes, it seems like there is a loadout screen. You can pick e.g. up to four gadgets (the watch is a mandatory gadget though). AFAIK skins can be switched in the pause menu, too. They are just cosmetics

@ExpectingMrBond These outfits are really cool. I wonder how these will fit in the gameplay. Is there going to be some sort of mission prep screen like in the Hitman Games?

New images of the Bond outfit skins from the #007FirstLight × Coca-Cola promotion have surfaced. We compared them with their film inspirations — from Dr. No to No Time to Die. Some matches are spot on… others raise questions. Full analysis here: expectingmrbond.com/fashion-check-…

@AbbhirajxNag @soumyadeep43 @gamelootindia Should be 2-6 weeks before release - so mid April the earliest

@soumyadeep43 @ExpectingMrBond @gamelootindia Still waiting on iO Interactive to announce when the game is going gold.

Bringing more light to #007FirstLight. NVIDIA confirmed DLSS 4.5 during GDC 2026 and released a new RTX trailer showcasing path tracing and next-gen lighting: expectingmrbond.com/007-first-ligh…
