A bit of Nathan Drake and Batou in 007
If 007 First Light evoked in you the already nostalgic memory of the games Unchartedit’s probably not for nothing. In an interview with Game Informer (relayed by GameSpot), gameplay director Andreas Krogh acknowledges that Naughty Dog’s games strongly inspired the very explosive sequences of IO Interactive’s next game. Which everyone could guess at first glance. But more surprisingly, these sequences also use part of the games Batman Arkhamwho also knew how to put on a great show when it came to close combat :
“ What are our references? What other games are as successful, on the same scale and with the same scope? Obviously, we took inspiration from certain games for close combat. We find the influence of the Arkham games there. We also see more modern elements of environmental destructibility, which do not necessarily come from Arkham, but from more recent titles like Uncharted. Our system is more complex because we wanted to explore it further. »
That being said, the game will not force you to take the most explosive path all the timesince the paw Hitman based on infiltration and choice will always be present:
“ We want to let the player choose for themselves. What type of player are you? What style of play do you prefer? Play how you want. »
007 First Light will be available from May 27 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
