007 First Light for Nintendo Switch 2 Delayed to Summer

July 11, 2026Diego Herrera1 мин

IO Interactive has announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of its highly anticipated game, "007 First Light," has been postponed until summer, with no more specific date provided. The studio explained in a brief statement that its primary goal is to "offer the best game experience possible," suggesting that the adaptation for Nintendo's console requires additional development time compared to other platforms.

This delay announcement comes shortly after rumors began circulating about a potential change in the release schedule. These rumors originated from alleged updates in retail store databases, which indicated that the Switch 2 version would not coincide with the launch on other platforms. For PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the release date remains May 27th.

Coincidentally, news of the potential delay emerged around the same time, or shortly after, the release of the game's latest development diary. The video description still mentioned May 27th as the release date for the Switch 2 version as well. Within the video itself, there were no clear indications of a calendar change, apart from the absence of the Switch 2 version among the special editions promoted at the end. This suggests that the pressure from these circulating rumors may have prompted IO Interactive to officially announce the postponement.
