007 First Light reveals title sequence, Lana Del Rey leads theme song

New Bond game sets the tone ahead of its May 2026 launch

Published

007 First Light Title

IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have unveiled the official title sequence for 007 First Light, giving players their first look—and listen—at the game’s cinematic direction ahead of launch.

The reveal took place during the BAFTA Game Awards in London, where the studios confirmed that Lana Del Rey performs the game’s title track. She co-wrote and composed the song with David Arnold, marking Arnold’s return to the Bond franchise.

007 First Light launches on May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version arriving later in Summer 2026.

A modern take on a classic Bond tradition

The title sequence follows the long-standing James Bond tradition of stylized opening credits that establish tone and identity. Here, IO Interactive leans into a mix of modern visuals and classic Bond motifs, reflecting the game’s reimagined origin story.

This version of Bond is younger, less experienced, and at times reckless, as he begins his journey into espionage. The sequence ties those themes together through cinematic imagery, anchored by Del Rey’s signature vocals and Arnold’s orchestral influence.

It also marks a notable moment for the franchise, signaling Bond’s return to gaming after more than a decade.

A deeper dive into the game’s music

Alongside the reveal, IO Interactive released a new episode of its “Beyond the Light” series, focusing on the game’s soundtrack.

The episode features insights from Dominic Vega, Missions and Audio Director on 007 First Light, as well as The Flight, the duo behind the game’s score. They discuss the creative process behind shaping the sound of this new Bond era and the challenges of working within such an iconic franchise.

Pre-orders now live with early access perks

Pre-orders for 007 First Light are now open across supported platforms. Players who pre-order will receive a free deluxe upgrade, which includes 24-hour early access for digital editions.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, however, are limited to physical editions only.

More details are available on the game’s official website and IO Interactive’s press channels.

Bloodborne is getting an R-rated animated film adaptation

And it’s going to be produced by Sony and Jacksepticeye.

Published

FromSoftware fans are eating well these days. Though gamers are still anticipating the arrival of The Duskbloods on the Switch 2, the studio’s other franchises are getting well-deserved nods for adaptations: Sekiro, Elden Ring, and now, Bloodborne.

Sekiro has already been slated for an anime adaptation for a while now. Meanwhile, Alex Garland recently confirmed that he is adapting Elden Ring for A24. Today, Sony Pictures has confirmed that the studio is working on an R-rated animated film based on Bloodborne.

Via Variety, Sony Pictures president Sanford Panitch says that the upcoming adaptation will keep the game’s essence of horror and gore. With a name like “Bloodborne,” you can’t have an adaptation without a heaping of blood.

Besides Sony, the animated project has another big name attached to its production: YouTuber Jacksepticeye. Throughout his career, the creator has been vocal about considering Bloodborne as his favorite game of all time. He even has a tattoo of the Hunter’s Mark on his forearm. For this project, Jack will be a co-producer.

Though the creator’s skill in filmmaking is still a relative unknown, Jack’s love for the game should give the project a gamer’s voice. If anything, Markiplier’s recent Iron Lung adaptation offers optimism that YouTubers can also create decent films.
