Delphi Interactive is a video game development and publishing company based in Los Angeles, California. The company focuses on video games based on existing properties and franchises. Delphi was founded in 2020 by Casper Daugaard. The company's first two games, the James Bond multiplatform title 007 First Light and an untitled FIFA game releasing through Netflix, are both scheduled to launch in 2026.[1]
History
Daugaard formed Delphi Interactive in 2020.[1] The company's stated goal is to address a misalignment between major video game publishers, who are focused on their own intellectual property, and external owners of major intellectual properties that can be incorporated into games.[1][2] Delphi focuses on AAA games and independent talent;[2] Daugaard has stated that Delphi works outside of what he refers to as the "publisher industrial complex".[1][2][3]
Operations
Andy Kleinman, president of Delphi Interactive, was previously an executive at Zynga[4] and Scopely, where he worked in licensing intellectual property for mobile games.[5] He was also CEO of Wonder, a smartphone startup.[6] Julien Merceron, who had previously worked at Konami and Ubisoft, joined the company as CTO in January 2026. He oversees technical and development strategy, with focus on the 2026 FIFA game.[1][7][8] Theodor Tang-Peronard is a partner at Delphi and executive producer of the FIFA game.[9]
Delphi is a part owner of Refactor Games, a developer of the 2022 football game Football Simulator in 2022.[1] Refactor, based at Delphi's headquarters in Los Angeles, is supporting Delphi's work on the 2026 FIFA game with Netflix.[10]
Games
007 First Light
First announced in 2020 under the title Project 007,[2] 007 First Light is a third-person action-adventure game[11] that tells an original standalone origin story of James Bond.[12] The game stars Patrick Gibson as young Bond, Priyanga Burford as M, Lennie James as Bond’s mentor John Greenway, Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny, Alastair Mackenzie as Q, Noemie Nakai as Miss Roth, Gemma Chan as Selina Tan, and Lenny Kravitz as the antagonist Bawma.[12][13]
Delphi licensed the intellectual property from Amazon MGM Studios, and IO Interactive is developing and publishing the game, scheduled to be released in May 2026.[2][12] 007 First Light is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and GeForce Now.[11][14]
IO has stated that it intends 007 First Light, the first James Bond video game since 2012, as the start of a trilogy.[15][16]
Untitled FIFA game
Delphi has announced a football simulation game, licensed by FIFA and playable exclusively on Netflix, to be released in summer 2026, coinciding with the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[3][17] Delphi is developing and publishing the game.[4][18][19]
