Prepare for a new level of espionage, agents. Even Realities has announced that its Even G2 smart glasses will be integrated into the forthcoming game, 007 First Light, through a collaboration with IO Interactive.
As 007 First Light gears up for its May 27, 2026 release, Even Realities revealed its partnership with IO Interactive to incorporate the Even G2 smart glasses into the spy-thriller title. These glasses are set to join James Bond’s arsenal of high-tech gadgets. Introduced in a post-launch update, the Even G2 will provide the newly recruited James Bond with enhanced situational awareness and deeper insights into his environment, becoming a valuable tool in his missions.
The game 007 First Light chronicles the early career of young James Bond, who joins the Double O program after a distinguished service as a Naval aircrewman. Players will guide him through thrilling espionage operations as he evolves into the legendary spy. However, a critical failure to apprehend a rogue agent forces Bond to team up with his mentor, John Greenway, to uncover a vast conspiracy and thwart a coup in the United States. Players will explore diverse locations, operate iconic vehicles, and complete missions using a range of gadgets, with the option for either stealthy infiltration or overt action.
The Even G2, which was launched in November 2025, is designed as an everyday smart eyewear solution, featuring built-in AI tools for enhanced communication and meeting support. Its AI capabilities include Prep Notes for recalling previous discussions, AI Cues for identifying unfamiliar names and references, AI Summaries for post-conversation recaps, real-time translation for up to 35 languages, and a voice-controlled teleprompter, among other features. While specific in-game functionalities of the Even G2 within 007 First Light haven’t been detailed, the real-time translation feature is a likely candidate for assisting Bond in navigating various international locales during his missions.
Will Wang, Founder and CEO of Even Realities, commented on the upcoming integration: “We build technology that doesn’t shout for attention – but amplifies human potential. Partnering with IO Interactive to bring the Even G2 into a James Bond game makes perfect sense: both worlds value intelligence, discretion, and design that performs when it matters most. In a way, this collaboration is about doubling the intelligence: the glasses’ invisible power working alongside Bond’s legendary instincts, to achieve anything possible.”
Andreas Korgh, Gameplay Director at IO Interactive, added his perspective: “James Bond has always been defined by his instincts as much as his tools. With Even Realities, we’ve found a partner who shares our obsession with sophistication and precision. Integrating the Even G2 into 007 First Light gives players a new way to uncover secrets and reveal new opportunities, turning every observation into a strategic advantage.”
More details regarding this collaboration between Even Realities and IO Interactive, and the integration of the Even G2 into 007 First Light, are expected closer to the game’s launch in 2026. Fans can currently pre-order 007 First Light for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
