April 21, 2026, Irvine, California, USA: Razer™ (Headquarters: California, USA and Singapore), the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced a strategic partnership with IO Interactive, the award-winning developer and publisher known for the critically acclaimed "HITMAN" series, and Amazon MGM Studios. This collaboration aims to achieve even greater immersion and control precision in the upcoming title "007 First Light."
"007 First Light" is a standalone, story-driven action-adventure that reimagines James Bond's origin story. Players will control a promising yet rebellious 26-year-old Royal Navy aviator, a young Bond scouted by MI6, as he strives to earn the "00" designation in the reorganized 00 Section.
In this title, the world of Bond extends beyond the screen through Razer Sensa™ HD Haptics and Razer Chroma™ RGB technology. Through specially designed integrated features, the impact of his choices, tense situations, and narrow escapes will be heightened, allowing players to more deeply experience and react to these critical moments.
Experience Bond's instincts, realistically.
"007 First Light" is a game where players experience Bond's growth within MI6. As situational judgment, timing, and decision-making become crucial, IO Interactive's system-driven gameplay demands players to read the atmosphere, manage risks, and execute under pressure. The partnership with Razer focuses on elevating these high-tension moments into a richer sensory layer without disrupting the game experience.
For the PC version, Razer Sensa™ HD Haptics will provide over 80 types of haptic effects optimized for "007 First Light." Feedback tailored to the rhythm and intensity of each action, such as pistol firing, silent takedowns, and pushing vehicles to their limits during a chase, realistically conveys the urgency and escalating danger of the situation.
Simultaneously, Razer Chroma™ RGB will deliver over 80 reactive lighting effects. These effects respond in real-time to mission progress, alert status, and environmental changes, extending the tension and shifting danger beyond the screen across all Chroma-enabled devices.
These integrated features can be experienced on select Razer devices, designed so that haptics and lighting complement each other without compromising the game's tempo or atmosphere.
Razer Sensa™ HD Haptics truly shines through devices such as the Razer Kraken V4 Pro headset, Razer Wolverine V3 Pro controller, and Razer Freyja HD Haptic Gaming Cushion, further enhancing the impact and escalating tension in critical moments.
Razer Chroma™ RGB visually extends the world of Bond through devices like the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K and Razer Cobra HyperSpeed mice, Razer Firefly V2 Pro mouse mat, Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% Keyboard, Razer Kraken V4 headset, and even the Razer Blade 16 (2026). This enhances immersion and atmosphere without distracting from gameplay.
Furthermore, for players who want to stay connected to their mission even when away from their main setup, Razer PC Remote Play allows "007 First Light" to be streamed to mobile displays. Additionally, with the Razer Kishi V3 Pro XL, a console-like gaming experience can be achieved on the go.
"'007 First Light' depicts the moment Bond 'becomes Bond' within this reimagined origin story. His choices, the risks he takes, and how he experiences the world are key," says Andreas Krogh, Gameplay Director at IO Interactive.
"From silent takedowns to decisive strikes, Bond's essence is to make calm judgments under pressure."
