Danish media revealed the development cost — IO Interactive studio remained silent about it for seven years.
According to several Danish publications, the production of 007 First Light cost approximately 1.3 billion Danish kroner — about 202 million dollars. Whether marketing expenses are included in this amount is unknown. TV channel TV 2 described the game as "the most expensive cultural product" of the country and "a significant milestone for the Danish gaming industry."IO Interactive previously did not disclose exact figures, only admitting that the seven-year development required greater investment than the entire Hitman trilogy. Partially covering the costs may have been helped by brand partnerships: the game features real cars, including the Aston Martin Valhalla, as well as Coca-Cola integration.Within the first 24 hours after release, the game sold 1.5 million copies. The ending contains clear hints at a sequel, indicating the studio's confidence in continuing the franchise.
