Jun 19 2025

  Recently, the new 007 game "007 Dawn" created by IO Interactive, a producer of the "Killer" series, has attracted much attention from the industry.

As the first original 007 game work in thirteen years, this work will not only tell the origin story of James Bond, but also reveal the possible identity of a traitor within MI6. The game completely deviates from the film adaptation framework, adopts a new original plot, and creates the protagonist who is only 26 years old and has not yet obtained the "007" code name. Players will witness the entire process of his growth from a young agent to a legendary spy.

  IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak revealed the key villain clues in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone. The 009 agent appeared in the game trailer in the game appeared in a hostile posture, and his true identity aroused speculation from netizens.

Abrak said: "In the world of spy war, betrayal is a common thing, which we often hear in reality, such as double-faced spies, etc. I can't reveal too much, but it can be said that 009 plays an extremely important role in the plot of this game." He also added: "The new 'M' we will encounter in the game believes in human nature and is committed to restarting the 00 plan that has been silent for a long time."

 It should be noted that although 009 has occasionally appeared in the past 007 movies, he has never played a major role. There is a precedent for the 00 agent's rebellion: Agent 006 in "Golden Eye" betrays Bond, and the villain played by Javier Barden in "The Skyfall" is also a former agent.

  "007 Dawn" is scheduled to be launched on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC platforms in 2026. More game details are expected to be disclosed this summer.
