Cameos in 007 First Light

Beyond the main cast, the game folds in a set of cameos from social media stars and musicians, placed across specific mission locations.

The score is handled by The Flight (Joe Henson and Alexis Smith), with a title song, "First Light," written by Lana Del Rey and David Arnold and performed by Del Rey. Together, the cast and music give IO Interactive's standalone Bond a distinct identity separate from the films, with Gibson's recruit at the center of the whole operation.
