007 First Light Sold 1.5 Million Copies in 24 Hours

IO Interactive took on a big responsibility when it chose to bring an icon like James Bond back to screens, but for now, the gamble seems to have paid off handsomely. As you can see from our 007 First Light review, the Danish studio has created a cinematic, engaging experience with successful gameplay and a brilliant protagonist: in other words, an ideal title for fans of the secret agent and beyond.
