IO Interactive has confirmed that 007 First Light features an easter egg appearance for an internet celebrity who went viral a few years ago, a pretty decent indication of just how long the game has been in advancement.<\/p>\n

In a new X\/Twitter post, the studio shared that social media influencer and most-followed TikTok user Khaby Lame, who went viral for his comedic reaction videos in which he silently gestures to obvious answers, can be found in the game.<\/p>\n

“You will meet a familiar face in Vietnam,” IOI said. “Khaby Lame joins the cast of 007 First Light and is part of a globetrotting adventure”.<\/p>\n

In the clip, James Bond can be seen asking Lame’s in-game self for directions while standing next to a sign. Lame silently gestures to it, like he does in his original reaction videos, before Bond continues on his way.<\/p>\n

You will meet a familiar face in Vietnam. Khaby Lame joins the cast of 007 First Light and is part of a globetrotting adventure as James Bond sets out to #EarnTheNumber.Pre-order now and get a Free Deluxe Edition Upgrade.https:\/\/t.co\/TYuWmcA0nA@KhabyLame #007FirstLight\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/j4bONVhvmxMay 25, 2026<\/p>\n

Khaby Lame’s slapstick videos went viral a few years ago, which many fans believe could be a clear sign of when the cameo was developed.<\/p>\n

“So Khaby Lame is a part of the James Bond family now,” one fan said on Reddit, while another wrote, “You can really tell how long a game has been in advancement based on the jokes or cameos the devs have put in them. Like with this, and with that breakdancing Gestral in Clair Obscur.”<\/p>\n

“We worked closely with Khaby to get him scanned and design his outfit for this re-imagined origin story! Share a screenshot when you encounter him in-game with us,” IOI added.<\/p>\n

007 First Light launches on May 27, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. The Nintendo Switch 2 version has been delayed and will launch sometime this summer.<\/p>\n
