IO Interactive pleased previews show 007: First Light differs from Hitman

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.

Narrative director Marin Emborg and senior combat designer Thomas Marcham spoke to Eurogamer at the studio's Brighton office. They addressed previews that described the game as a linear third-person stealth-action title rather than the open Hitman style. Emborg called the reactions expected and a relief, noting that Bond is the reverse of Hitman in many ways.
