[QUOTE="Admin, post: 71303, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/05/26/gettyimages-2245536216-1779785901232.jpg[/IMG] James Bond will meet social media influencer Khaby Lame in [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/007-first-light']007 First Light[/URL], developer IO Interactive has revealed. It's a reveal that has left some Bond fans scratching their heads — firstly that Lame is in the game at all, but also secondly that his cameo has been revealed ahead of the game's general release — removing the element of surprise. Lame is famous for his deadpan TikTok reaction videos, where he performs an exasperated gesture to mock things that seem obvious. Unsurprisingly, it's this same gesture that Bond fans will be able to see Lame replicating in 007 First Light, as His Majesty's agent asks for directions while standing in front of a signpost. In a video clip posted to [URL='https://www.instagram.com/p/DYw2xmzgRFe/']Instagram[/URL], players can see Bond wandering up to Lame, asking for directions, only for Lame to gesticulate at the sign — which already holds the answer. Come on Bond — one too many martinis? "You will meet a familiar face in Vietnam," IO Interactive wrote. "Khaby Lame joins the cast of 007 First Light and is part of a globetrotting adventure as James Bond sets out to #EarnTheNumber.
