007 First Light Delayed To May 27th 2026

Developer IO Interactive has announced a delay for 007 First Light.

Originally planned to release in March, the new James Bond game has been delayed to May 27th 2026 for the Switch 2 and other platforms. According to the announcement from IO Interactive, the game is fully playable from start to finish, but the team felt that they needed more time for additional polish.

Hello everyone,

Today, we are sharing an update regarding 007 First Light, as we have decided to move the game’s release by two months, to May 27, 2026.

007 First Light is our most ambitious project to date, and the team has been fully focused on delivering an unforgettable James Bond experience, bringing together breathtaking action, globe-trotting, spycraft, gadgets, car chases, and more. As an independent developer and publisher, this decision allows us to ensure the experience meets the level of quality you players deserve on day one.

The game is progressing well and is fully playable from beginning to end, so these additional two months will allow us to further polish and refine the experience, ensuring we deliver the strongest possible version at launch. We’re confident this sets 007 First Light up for long-term success, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and continued support we’ve received ever since we revealed the game. We look forward to sharing more updates regarding 007 First Light in early 2026.

Thank you again for your support,
IO Interactive

Stay tuned for more updates as they come.
