The James Bond 007 First Light story trailer has finally dropped, but people are divided.
At the Playstation State of Play on February 12, fans were treated to a sneak preview of the upcoming game.
Developed by IO Interactive, 007 First Light is a new spin on the legendary spy franchise, and many are comparing it to Hitman.

"I'm honestly really excited for this game," one said on Reddit. "It’s like if Uncharted and Hitman had a baby."
Another said, "Looks fantastic. Hitman mixed with the cool gadgets and tech from Bond. Then add some action, gunplay, and cars once in a while. Really hope it turns out because this has some amazing potential."
"I can't wait for this! Lifelong Bond fan and Hitman fan since the original way back in the day. Have put serious hours into each and every Hitman instalment. This is going to be a perfect marriage for me."
However, some gamers are less hopeful after watching the story trailer.
"Ehhhh, that Bond looks and sounds way too clean and meek," one said. "Also, it's like a game from 10 years ago... that's a bit worrying."
Another agreed, "They really need to retry on the main character. He’s got no Bond style to him. He looks like a Lifetime movie protagonist."
So, where can you watch the trailer, and when is the game set for release? Find out everything we know so far below.
