Developer IO Interactive has announced a delay for 007 First Light, their new James Bond origin story/game.

007 First Light is forgoing its previous March release date for a new one a bit later, on May 27th.

When the game does launch, it’ll be on Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PlayStation 5.

Here’s the full message from IO Interactive:

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 the 27th of May 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 / Hakan Abrak
