'Seems Like a Sequel Should Be Made' — Amazon Games Boss on the Future of IO's 007 First Light
- Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said last week that First Light is profitable, with the game reaching 3 million sales in its first two weeks despite being the studio's most expensive project.
- Developing First Light took seven years, but Abrak expects future James Bond titles to be produced more quickly and cheaply, mirroring cost reductions seen in the World of Assassination series.
- Confusion regarding the series' future emerged last week after Amazon Head of Gaming Jeff Gattis suggested sequels could be "done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios."
- Gattis later clarified he did not confirm Amazon Game Studios is publishing the next title, noting at Summer Game Fest that it "seems like a sequel should be made."
- First Light includes a prologue and 10 main missions, with assignments spanning global locations ranging from the prologue in Iceland to the final mission, For England, at MI6.
