007 First Light Will Be Inspired By Uncharted and Batman: Arkham Games

IO Interactive is well-known for its Hitman franchise, but this year the studio has prepared something more intriguing—007 First Light. It’s a new game about James Bond, which tells the origin story of iconic character and doesn’t have any connection to the movies—it's a fully standalone adventure.

We saw plenty of video game trailers and clips demonstrating full-packed action scenes and stealth abilities as well. One of the most exciting features in 007 First Light is an advanced combat system. In the new interview with Game Informer, the game’s gameplay director, Andreas Krogh, has revealed IO Interactive’s next title is inspired by the Batman: Arkham video games and Uncharted franchise in terms of combat and “modern takes on destructibility in the environment,” as you can check below:

“What are the other games that do this well, on the same scale and the same kind of scope as this game? Obviously, we have some references there in the approach to close combat.

I think you see the Arkham games, you see those games in it. You also see some modern takes on destructibility in the environment that are not necessarily from the Arkham games, but newer takes like Uncharted. We have a deeper system than that because we want to do more of it, and from shooting, you see references that are also from modern games."
