IO Interactive, the award-winning developer and publisher behind the globally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios announced today multi-platinum selling and award-winning singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey as the performer of the official title song for the upcoming video game 007 First Light. The title song for the upcoming 007 video game, a fully original, reimagined origin story of James Bond, has been written and composed by Lana Del Rey & David Arnold, marking the return of the composer to the Bond franchise.
The song is available now on streaming platforms, while the title sequence will be showcased for the first time on 007 First Light’s official channels on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Steam, and X, tomorrow April 17 at 8 pm BST / 12pm PST.
Lana Del Rey is recognized as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of her generation, having created a truly unique aesthetic. With 007 First Light’s title song, Lana joins James Bond’s long-awaited return to gaming, redefining the classic genre and creating her own musical interpretation for the game’s reimagined origin story.
"It’s a joy to watch two extraordinary talents like Lana Del Rey and David Arnold combine forces, the result feels instantly ‘Bond’ while still bringing a fresh identity for 007 First Light. Bond’s return to gaming is a landmark moment for us at IO Interactive, and having a title song of this quality makes it even more special," highlighted Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive.
“The music of James Bond has always been a huge part of its identity. A title song has to tell us about the world we are about to enter into. It has to intrigue, excite, and beckon us in. This song joins a long line of genre defining songs, each one creating a benchmark of style that adds to the magnificent heritage that is ‘The Bond Song’. That’s why I was so excited to work with Lana, an artist who brought elegance, atmosphere, and her totally unique character to this piece, which I hope will open the world of Bond to a whole new audience,” stated David Arnold.
007 First Light presents a bold new take with a reimagined origin story, following a 26 year-old James Bond at the very beginning of his journey in the world of espionage.
