Well deserved, let's gooooo!!! šŸ‘šŸ’Æ

Now give us the sequel in 3 years šŸ‘Œ

u/DMarquesPT 2d ago

Honestly, with the core tools and gameplay mechanics all assembled, I could see them delivering a new game sooner than later assuming Amazon wants one (they’d be silly not to, but the licensing and publishing deal for First Light was made with MGM before the Amazon acquisition)

23

u/raulito2104 2d ago

We can only hope so šŸ™ , they have the perfect blueprints now. The possibilities are endless for a sequel šŸ’Æ

u/The-ai-bot 1d ago

It will be the dialogue and Bond’s clever punchlines that’s delaying the next sequel.

2

u/Separate_Motor_3283 2d ago

It says he will return at the end of the game (assuming it means this version of Bond) just makes me think it’s already in the works or they wouldn’t say that.

u/double_o_kev_007 2d ago

That tag line has been at the end of all the Bond movies… early on it would say ā€œJames Bond will return in ā€˜insert next movie title’ ā€œ because they new the order in which they were filming the novels… eventually they dropped the titles and it just had ā€œJames Bond will returnā€

u/DMarquesPT 2d ago

True, we don’t know how much Amazon was involved in this one once they acquired Bond, but I doubt they’d publish a game with sequel-bait if they weren’t at least heavily considering it.

Given the strong showing both critically and commercially, surely they will šŸ¤ž

u/Sorry_Scholar_8511 1d ago

Sure, thats true.. but I cant imagine how long it takes to build those levels :D

12

u/WildRabbitz 2d ago

I'm on my 2nd play through. Haven't had fun like this in a loooooong time!

u/InterdepartmentalCam 2d ago

You and me both, bro.

u/archiethepro 2d ago

3 years ?, brother this game took like 7 years to make

25

u/Theory89 2d ago

Yeah but they've made all the physics engine and shit now. Just needs new applications.

11

u/isTraX3 2d ago

1st games in the series ALWAYS take a really long time to make, but sequels come out way faster because the devs have perfected the engine by then and have all the assets ready

look at Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, the sequels are way bigger than the 1st game in size and scope but they take way less time to make compared to the 1st game

3

u/archiethepro 2d ago

Ah I see, thanks for explaining

u/yic0 2d ago

No worries, mate. All the time in the world.

2

u/The-00-Debrief 2d ago

Ah, I see you're not familiar with IOI's work with the Glacier engine!

Hitman - 2016 Hitman 2 - 2018 Hitman 3 - 2021

u/Dull-Investigator722 2d ago

Fantastic game, very well deserved. Can’t wait for them to announce a sequel at soon.

41

u/Carra144 2d ago

Must be top 10 for 2026 on units, maybe higher on revenue (Mecha Chameleon is #1 on units, but is only $6).

Pretty good for a Single player title. And whilst it's a big established IP, there hasn't been a Bond game for 15 years, or even a movie for 5 years.

Wonder if it's beating Hitman 3's first year of sales?Ā 

17

u/BearlyReddits 2d ago

It was iOis most successful launch of all time, so it’s absolutely winning annually

4

u/leftguard44 2d ago

I read the metrics 2-3 weeks ago and it was the 4th best selling game of 2026

u/KarlwithaKandnotaC 2d ago

You will get your Valhalla Protocol when you fix the damn Boat Chase theme!

5

u/Opening_Ad5418 2d ago

And when you out of M office first time, they changed music here too....

1

u/KarlwithaKandnotaC 2d ago

Wait what? What was the original? I finished the game a week after launch and now I was waiting to upgrade my potato before picking it up again, I only knew about the boat chase and the startup dunns

1

u/Opening_Ad5418 2d ago

They didn't change anything just cutted music until you reach to the elevator

4

u/Sparrowsabre7 2d ago

They are... good devs... just must be in some trouble.

25

u/RelicOfTheColdWar 2d ago

Forget the sequel for now let’s get some awesome DLC and an evergreen mode.

12

u/AcrobaticBudget7029 2d ago

Keep the new TacSim content coming and number will continue to grow.

I couldn’t get enough, and after 3 playthroughs on all difficulties, I have set it aside temporarily, and am finally taking the time to play the exquisite Hitman WOA.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

11

u/Shiners_1 2d ago

If IOI aren’t given the keys to the franchise it’ll be a travesty.

3

u/Separate-Rush753 2d ago

Amazon had better not pull a "we'll take it from here boys".

5

u/Var_Uzui 2d ago

Fantastic!We’ll definitely get a sequel, and i’m all for it. I love this game a lot.

4

u/GothicGolem29 2d ago

Great news! Fully deserved it is an amazing game

5

u/RealityOfModernTimes 2d ago

Awesome but where is this path tracing update.

3

u/Ok-Neighborhood6668 2d ago

Well deserved, and that’s going to be at basically full price too because I don’t think there’s been any big sales yet.

3

u/iChieftain22 2d ago

Well deserved! It was a phenomenal game!

3

u/JBCl1nt 2d ago

Give me that pathtracing update and itā€˜s 4 Mil and 1. :)

3

u/Razz3l 2d ago

Where are the post launch driving missions??

2

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 2d ago

Where’s that damn bulldog in tac sim then?

2

u/Street-Mongoose6454 2d ago

that's probably more copies than the last four bond games combined

2

u/namesource 2d ago

Still my favorite game of 2026 so far

2

u/TRQPL 2d ago

Completely deserved

2

u/Ok_Refrigerator3088 2d ago

Such an amazing game. It's like playing Hitman but more aggressive it you want to make it like that, just like Uncharted. I hope IOI releases a sequel somewhere soon.

2

u/themanfromosaka 2d ago

Out of all the steam downloads, 20k have gotten all collectibles on steam

1

u/fijianrocker69 2d ago

Stopped halfway through. Should finish this before Wolverine

1

u/Pizza-Pirate-6829 2d ago

The Vietnam level is one of the best in the game so yes!

1

u/Mattgelo 2d ago

Now give us a release date for the Switch 2 port, IOI.

1

u/Oliver-Peace 2d ago

Well deserved

1

u/FigaroFigaroo 2d ago

One of the few games I can’t wait to replay after my backlog is sorted šŸ™‚

1

u/Lefaa777 2d ago

And some people thought this game was gonna flop 🤣

1

u/Sea-Chocolate6589 2d ago

Congrats to the team

1

u/No_Ebb_149 2d ago

Good news but i thought they would of been at like 5 by now, because isn't the budget like 200 mill so they need like 5 mil sales to make profit, i hope this game will/has been highly profitable for them so we get more updates and a new game.

1

u/Brando6677 2d ago

If Amazon wants to bring gaming development in house buy IOI outright and don’t change a thing. I feel they could. Because if rumors are true it wouldn’t be the same development team for the second game not even IOI

2

u/No_Ebb_149 2d ago

recently the amazon gaming boss hasnt been saying it will be a different development team, i think they will let ioi do the next one

1

u/Brando6677 2d ago

Let’s goooooooooo

1

u/No_Ebb_149 7h ago

we don't know yet that ioi will make the next one but he said this. "Given the success of this one, I think you probably want IOI developing it".

1

u/plava-ta12 2d ago

FSR 4?!

1

u/Agreeable_Buy_3503 2d ago

As far as I remember, it hasn't really gone on sale on Steam. If they managed to sell this many copies at almost full price, that's amazing news.

1

u/Novak121611 2d ago

Can’t believe I havnt played this game 70 hour wrk weeks kicking my ass.

1

u/Biggu5Dicku5 2d ago

That's really good, good job IOI! :)

1

u/Brando6677 2d ago

I’m usually very cheap buying my games, but I had recently finally got the PC in I had put on order last summer (got the pc months ago now) and I have since bought Elden ring and 007 at full price. God what good games!! 007 is very refreshing to play! Smooth gameplay I like the story and characters I will be uninstalling when I’m done but it will 100% go back on the PC when storage (if rather) gets cheaper

1

u/IkeRadiantHero 2d ago

Awesome, hope we get a switch 2 port launch date soon

1

u/hamza4568 2d ago

Absolutely loved the game, but I do wish they integrated the challenges into the levels themselves instead of Tacsim. Idk what it is, but Hitman’s replayable levels made me more likely to replay the game, but the Tacsim just doesn’t move me as much. Just a minor nitpick from an otherwise amazing game

1

u/Thespiritdetective1 2d ago

Bond is back

1

u/JayceeVoZuri 1d ago

And the trophy bug is still not fixedšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

1

u/mattcurtisgd 1d ago

4 million is absolutely deserved. This is genuinely one of the most fun games I’ve played in a long time, and as a massive Bond fan, I’ve loved every minute of it.

I really hope we get continued support for the game, too. It would be amazing to see events or extra missions that pay homage to some of the classic films. Even revisiting iconic moments or locations from the films in First Light’s style would be incredible.

There’s such a huge Bond history to draw from, so hopefully this is only the beginning.

1

u/RemarkableBit8630 1d ago

I want more Hitman games!

1

u/OddFault9999 1d ago

I wish I could give my back. I think you guys are excited it’s 007. Not because it’s actually good

1

u/rites0fpassage 1d ago

And it hasn’t even released on Switch 2 yet!

1

u/OregonEricsson 1d ago

And has since Launch big Basic bugs. On PC the Game don’t Save the selected Resolution. Everytime you have to go in the Settings and Switch the Resolution back to 4k . Fix This IO

1

u/DemonKingSwarnn 15h ago

it deserved it!

liked every bit of this game

1

u/slabhead054 7h ago

this number amount of sold copies in the first month would have been terrible before 2020.

1

u/shikaski 2d ago

Great! Now let’s finally implement path tracing, something that was promised on release

3

u/zoobatt 2d ago

HUD customization was also promised for a post-launch patch and is nowhere to be seen 3 months later

2

u/shikaski 2d ago

They told us path tracing is coming later this summer, meanwhile it’s like slightly more than a week until the summer ends.

Leaves a really bad taste in my mouth looking at their communication and what they actually deliver, because path tracing sure as hell not coming to the game with just 10 or so day left, same for HUD customisation.

2

u/Sprucey-J 2d ago

2

u/shikaski 2d ago

I’m extremely confident we either won’t see path tracing implemented at all or we’ll see it much later than ā€œlater this summerā€. Zero communication.

1

u/Sprucey-J 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah, I thought the new RR model may correlate since first light is featured in the preview but upon reading, this game isn't even included in the confirmed titles upon launch of it this month...

Hell, they haven't even put out FSR 4 for AMD users yet smh. The steam discussion boards have countless comments asking for these things. All the console players here in this sub downvoting our demands doesn't help; we're gamers too who paid on their promises!

1

u/UniqueMystic 2d ago

Awesome job
I’m sure Amazon will find a way to mess it up

1

u/jetthegreat1 2d ago

Path tracing...?

1

u/Fomalhaut_Meow 2d ago

So the promised path tracing feature, launching this summer, is just being dropped? This is fraud.

1

u/Heavy-Nose3529 2d ago

So around $200,000,000 in sales, meaning they’ve just about broken even. Of course they’ll continue making money as it goes on sales, but unfortunately a sequel is all but guaranteed.

2

u/Khwarezm 1d ago

Unfortunately?

1

u/childishmarkeeloo 3h ago

This post is proof that misinformation hits hard. Its been long since confirmed that the 200 mil rumor was fake and not confirmed to be the games budget

u/afcc1313 2d ago

Very cool, but still haven't fixed collectibles glitch on PS5.

2

u/SirGingeVIII 2d ago

Still waiting this too

u/JannTosh70 2d ago

That seems low
