Amazon Games head Jeff Gattis says sequel for James Bond “007 First Light” is likely

Jeff Gattis, head of gaming at Amazon, clarified recent rumors about a follow‑up to the James Bond title 007 First Light. In an interview with IGN he stated he never confirmed that Amazon Game Studios will publish the next game, but emphasized that IO Interactive remains a strong partner and that the project’s continuation depends on market demand and the franchise’s profitability. Gattis recounted a recent visit to IO Interactive’s Copenhagen studio, noting the current game’s solid performance and saying that “as long as we feel there’s a desire for players to have the game, it’s safe to say it’s going to be made.” He also reminded that Amazon MGM holds the Bond IP, so any decision will require board approval. Earlier speculation about whether IO Interactive would develop a sequel stemmed from Gattis’s earlier comments, but the clarification suggests both parties are open to continuing the series pending commercial success.

The company’s stance points to a cautious optimism about a sequel, linking it to the success of the first title and Amazon’s broader strategy of aligning games with its Prime Video content.
