IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have released an extended trailer for 007 First Light during IGN Fan Fest, offering a deeper look at Grammy Award winner Lenny Kravitz as the Pirate King Bawma.
Originally revealed during The Game Awards, Bawma’s character introduction has now been expanded with new cinematic footage. The extended trailer showcases his dramatic first encounter with James Bond and MI6 mentor John Greenway, highlighting the game’s bold, story-driven vision.
Lenny Kravitz as The Pirate King
Bawma is portrayed as the charismatic and unpredictable leader of a powerful black-market arms network. Brought to life using Kravitz’s voice and likeness, the Pirate King appears to be a major force in Bond’s early career.
The new footage emphasizes Bawma’s presence as a commanding antagonist, positioning him as a key figure who will help shape Bond’s journey in this reimagined origin story.
A New Origin Story for James Bond

Players take control of a 26-year-old James Bond — a talented but rebellious Royal Navy air crewman recruited into MI6. The game presents a fully original origin story, exploring how Bond evolves into the iconic agent fans know.
Bond’s missions will take him across the globe, facing dangerous adversaries and forming critical alliances. Players can approach challenges through:
