Gemma Chan Joins 007 First Light
British actress Gemma Chan will portray Selina, joining the project as both the voice and physical likeness of the character, a very first for the actress in gaming. Selina Tan is a senior MI6 figure who oversees the agency's Tactical Simulations division, a program designed to test and refine the skills of Britain's most promising recruits. Once a rising star in academia with a background in psychology and strategy, she later made her mark in the private sector, leading advanced research in immersive technologies, before joining MI6 to spearhead the Tactical Simulation Division. Leveraging both scientific rigor and strategic vision, she is a unique asset amongst British Intelligence.
007 First Light's gameplay will feature a Creative Approach at its core. Stealth, spycraft, improvisation with gadgets from Q Branch, melee and ranged combat, as well as Bond's Instinct, will all be tools at the player's disposal, giving them the freedom to tackle missions their way. Alongside the Creative Approach, 007 First Light will offer bold, cinematic set-pieces that define the Bond franchise, whether it's high-speed chases, intense shootouts, or a heart-pounding fight aboard a hacked airplane that sends Bond into the open sky without a parachute. Every element is designed to capture the danger, elegance, and spectacle of Bond's introduction to the world of espionage.
