IO Interactive defends younger Bond's smug persona

IO Interactive has welcomed debate over the arrogant personality of its new James Bond character in the upcoming game 007: First Light. The Danish studio says the smug demeanor is intentional and will evolve during the story.

IO Interactive, best known for the Hitman series, addressed criticism that its version of James Bond appears too smug. Senior combat designer Tom Marcham said differing opinions on the character are positive. He noted that every new Bond casting sparks discussion across Britain and expressed curiosity about player reactions after completing the game.

Rasmus Poulsen, art director for IO Interactive's 007: First Light, has clarified that the limited edition DualSense PS5 controller's straight-line design is intentional.

IO Interactive says it is really happy that recent previews of 007: First Light are making clear the James Bond game is not like its Hitman series. The studio wants players to understand the differences ahead of the May 27 release.
