Everything We Know About IOI Showcase

First Look at 007 First Light

Old-school Bond aficionados and newcomers alike have reason to get shaken (not stirred) with excitement—IO Interactive’s upcoming IOI Showcase will officially lift the curtain on 007: First Light, the next chapter in the iconic spy franchise’s gaming legacy.

While details remain tightly under wraps, the showcase will mark the world’s first look at the new standalone James Bond title, which has been quietly in development by the Hitman studio since its initial announcement. Beyond the title itself, little is known—but if IOI’s reputation for stealth and precision gameplay is any indication, 007: First Light could be a mission worth watching closely.

New Content for HITMAN World of Assassination and More Info for MindsEye

From classic spies to modern assassins, the IOI Showcase won’t just be about James Bond—HITMAN World of Assassination is also set to take the spotlight. To mark the series’ 25th anniversary, IO Interactive will unveil new updates, future content plans, and potential collaborations for their iconic stealth franchise.

Fans of Agent 47 should stay sharp—because while he may be hard to spot, big news is definitely coming.
Meanwhile, MindsEye is expected to share more details ahead of its anticipated June 10, 2025, release.

While specifics remain hidden in shadows, the fans expect the upcoming showcase to present a deeper dive into the game’s core features and set the stage for a final hype push before launch.

Twitch and Drops for All Viewers

Fans tuning into the IOI Showcase via Twitch or TikTok won’t just walk away with exciting announcements—they’ll also be eligible for exclusive platform-specific drops. While the exact rewards remain under wraps, viewers who stick around long enough are expected to score some digital goodies just for watching.

Unfortunately for YouTube viewers, the drops won’t be available on that platform, so those looking to maximize their rewards will want to catch the stream on Twitch or TikTok instead.

What is the IOI Showcase?

The IOI Showcase is a milestone moment for IO Interactive as the studio celebrates the 25th anniversary of its iconic HITMAN franchise. Alongside commemorating Agent 47’s legacy, the showcase will also spotlight IOI’s evolving vision, offering fans a deeper look at what’s next for the studio.

From its roots in stealth and assassination to bold new IPs on the horizon, the IOI Showcase aims to bridge the gap between past triumphs and future ambitions.
