The name’s Bond… or at least, everything around him. Welcome to ExpectingMrBond.com – your new unofficial HQ for all things 007: First Light, the upcoming James Bond video game from IO Interactive.
This site is made by fans, for fans. We’re here to explore, analyze, speculate, and celebrate the thrilling new take on Bondthat’s about to unfold. Whether you’re into deep lore dives, developer interviews, trailer breakdowns, or just curious what kind of spycraft awaits us, you’ve come to the right place.
We kicked things off with a soft launch on social media, and now the site itself is live. Some of the content you may have seen on Twitter or Facebook will soon be published here in a more detailed and permanent form – fully fleshed out, updated, and ready to be discovered (again).
While 007: First Light is our main mission, you may also find the occasional detour into the wider world of James Bond – from classic films and Fleming novels to iconic moments, unforgettable villains, stylish gadgets, and cultural callbacks. Because being a Bond fan isn’t just about the next game – it’s about the legacy that came before.

- News & Updates – From official reveals to behind-the-scenes developments
- Speculation & Analysis – Trailer dissections, character theories, and gameplay predictions

Once we’ve brought over and expanded all content from our social media soft launch, expect a detailed video analysisof the full trailer, breaking down every clue, cut, and camera angle.
We’ll also cover upcoming events, including the anticipated gameplay reveal later this summer – possibly during Gamescom 2025. So stay tuned – Bond’s mission is just beginning, and we’ll be reporting from the front lines.
A Note on the Name (and the Logo)
The name ExpectingMrBond was inspired by a real piece of official Bond merchandise: a classic doormat made of coconut fiber, boldly stating “I’ve Been Expecting You, Mr. Bond.” It felt like the perfect welcome for a fansite as well.
The site’s logo, too, is a playful nod to Bond history – drawing visual inspiration from the infamous SPECTRE octopus symbol. But here, the tentacles subtly form the acronym EMB – Expecting Mr Bond. A little Easter egg of our own.
