007 First Light Hits Major Wishlist Milestone
IO Interactive has announced significant progress in its pre-release wishlist campaign for 007 First Light. The developer launched a unique initiative last month, offering players in-game bonuses for adding the upcoming James Bond title to their wishlists. This strategy has proven highly effective, generating substantial anticipation for the game's eventual release.
Current Progress and Unlockable Rewards
Gamers quickly surpassed the initial 500,000 wishlist milestone early in August, and in just one week, that number climbed to an impressive 750,000. This rapid growth highlights strong community interest in IO Interactive's take on the iconic spy franchise.
Players have already unlocked a unique Bond skin and animated wallpaper as rewards for their support. These early bonuses provide a taste of the exclusive content that will be available to dedicated fans.
Upcoming Milestones and Future Rewards
The campaign isn't over yet, with three more exciting milestones remaining, promising even more exclusive content:
- 1 Million Wishlists: A new look for an in-game gadget and a stylized streaming overlay.
- 1.25 Million Wishlists: A deluxe Bond skin and a series of developer Q&A sessions addressing player questions.
- 1.5 Million Wishlists: A secret reward, the details of which will be revealed closer to the final milestone.
These escalating rewards aim to keep the momentum going and encourage more players to join the growing wishlist community.
Release Details
007 First Light is slated for release in 2026, launching on PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. While a specific release date remains under wraps, the game will include Russian text localization. The success of this wishlist campaign not only builds hype but also provides IO Interactive with valuable insights into player interest, potentially influencing future development and marketing strategies.
