IO Interactive’s marketing of 007 First Light<\/a> is now in full swing ahead of Bond’s anticipated return on other platforms later this month.<\/p>\n

To help build some excitement, the studio is now showcasing its “amazing” ensemble cast, and it’s got this underway with a brief chat with Irish actor Patrick Gibson – aka the guy who will be playing 007 in his new video game assignment.<\/p>\n

Gibson has also shared a lovely message with Bond fans and gamers alike:<\/p>\n

“Strap in, I’m as excited as everyone else to play, I hope people enjoy the game, I think there was a lot of love and passion put into it, and for fans of gaming and the character, I hope it delivers everything that they expect. I’m very excited to hear people’s reaction.”<\/p>\n

Of course, while the marketing for this new James Bond game is now well and truly underway, Switch 2 owners will have to wait until “this summer” to get their hands on this new adventure.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, IOI’s boss has already promised to do everything he can to get the game out on Nintendo’s hybrid hardware within this particular window.<\/p>\n
