The upcoming video game 007 First Light will tell the story of James Bond’s beginnings. Created by the studio behind Hitman, it’s an action-packed spy thriller with stealth elements, car chases, and investigation – just like the films. It’s expected to be one of the biggest game releases of 2026, though players with Nintendo consoles will have to wait longer to play.
007 First Light Is Delayed On Nintendo Switch 2
There’s a setback for the upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. The official game account announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 version, originally planned for release in May, is now scheduled for sometime between June and September of 2026.
IO Interactive hasn’t explained why the game is delayed, but it’s probably because of challenges adapting it to the new Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. To get the game running on the Switch 2, they might have to reduce some of its visual quality or performance.
This isn’t the first time the release of 007 First Light has been pushed back. Previously, it was delayed to make sure the game was high quality. Although this new delay is frustrating, it suggests the game is still on track to launch on other gaming systems as planned.
007 First Light Will Launch In May On Other Platforms
Good news for all of us Bond fans who don’t play on Switch! 007 First Light is still on track to launch on May 27th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Everything I’ve seen in the trailers looks amazing, and I’m really hoping IO Interactive delivers a fantastic game. It’s a bummer that Switch 2 players have to wait, but hopefully, it won’t be a long wait. Until then, we’ll have to get our fix with GoldenEye 007 through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. Fingers crossed we get a new Switch 2 release date for 007 First Light soon!
