Head behind the scenes again with the devs of 007 First Light as they discuss writing the upcoming game.
If you’re like me and love discovering the behind the scenes of games, especially how they are written, this one is for you. Episode 3 of Beyond the Light is out now and you can watch it right below:
In this episode, Main Writer Michael Vogt shares how the story for 007 First Light is crafted, starting with classic screenwriting fundamentals like structure, character arcs, and theme, then translating that outline into an interactive experience built in close collaboration with level design. He explains how a young Bond shapes the tone of the world of 007 First Light: it’s not cynical or jaded, but adventurous and inviting because this Bond is stepping into espionage for the first time, and eager to prove himself. The episode also dives into what defines Bond as a character and in 007 First Light: charisma, audacity, coolness under pressure, and resourcefulness that audiences expect, alongside traits that feel fresher for this reimagined origin story, such as idealism.
The game releases May 27th, 2026. Are you looking forward to it?
