The upcoming 007 First Light is scheduled to release on all platforms in May this year but players on the Nintendo Switch 2 will have to wait a bit longer for the title to arrive on their console. Reliable leaker ‘Graczdari’, who had accurately provided release dates for a number of AAA titles including Starfield and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for the PlayStation, hinted that the Switch 2 version of 007 First Light has just been delayed and now the developers have also confirmed the news on their official Twitter/X page that the action adventure title will arrive on the handheld “later this summer”.
“007 First Light comes to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on May 27th, 2026, and Nintendo Switch 2 later this summer. We’re excited to see players discovering James Bond’s reimagined origin story, and we are looking forward to bringing you the best game experience possible across all platforms.”
The newest trailer for 007 First Light showcases plenty of intriguing story beats, interesting character work and a whole lot of high-stakes, spy action ranging from both stealth based and regular third person shooting gameplay which clearly suggest that 007 First Light will provide a varied and enjoyable experience for all players. There’s also a fair bit of melee combat on display which means Bond will be able to easily move in and out of any kind of combat situations in the game, making for a more replayable gameplay experience.
The upcoming 007 First Light boasts an impressive, star studded cast of Dexter: Original Sin’s Patrick Gibson as the new James Bond, Fear the Walking Dead’s Lennie James as Bond’s mentor John Greenway, Priyanga Burford as M, Alastair Mackenzie as Q, Kiera Lester as Moneypenny and Noémie Nakai as Miss Roth.
