Last night, we got our first good look at IO Interactive’s upcoming James Bond game, 007: First Light. While the developer has said that First Light – or as it was previously known, Project 007 – will serve as an origin story for the spy, and not be a “gamification” of any of the films that have come before, last night’s trailer still had a fair few nods to Bonds of the past.
Please note, I will be talking about events from the James Bond series generally below, so please be aware of potential spoilers for the films and books if you haven’t already enjoyed them for yourself.

First up, there is this Bond’s facial scar. As you can see in the trailer above, this young Bond may be fresh faced when it comes to life as an agent, but he has clearly had a few scrapes already, earning himself a long thin scar down his cheek.
