Lana Del Rey's Bond song
The orchestral ballad has been met with widespread acclaim from fans who have long advocated for Del Rey to record a Bond theme.
The song will be featured in the opening title sequence of the game, which is being developed by Hitman creator IO Interactive.
Del Rey described the opportunity as a dream come true, particularly after a previous film theme of hers was rejected.
The game is scheduled for release in late May and aims to provide an original origin story for the iconic spy.
