007 First Light: Delay for the New James Bond Game
IO Interactive has pushed back the release of 007 First Light by two months. The game, exploring James Bond’s early years, will now launch on May 27, 2026. Developers say the extra time will ensure a polished experience for players.
The studio announced the delay to refine gameplay and meet its high standards. Though 007 First Light is already fully playable, IO Interactive wants to perfect the final product. This marks the first Bond game from an independent developer, with the team promising a mix of action, espionage, and classic Bond style.
High-profile names like Lenny Kravitz and Gemma Chan are attached to the project. Their involvement adds star power to a title already generating buzz. The game’s narrative focuses on Bond’s origins, blending high-stakes missions with the franchise’s signature glamour. Fans will now wait until late May 2026 for the release. The studio has stressed that quality remains the top priority.
The delay moves 007 First Light from its original March date to May 27, 2026. IO Interactive aims to deliver a game that lives up to the Bond legacy. With a star-studded cast and a fresh take on the spy’s early days, expectations remain high for the final version.
