The anticipated arrival of 007: First Light on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console has been delayed. Originally planned for a simultaneous multi-platform launch, the title's next-gen Nintendo version will now arrive several months later, in the summer.

This delay affects only the Switch 2 iteration of the game. All other announced versions for current platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, remain firmly on schedule for their original May release window. The development team cited the need for additional optimization time to fully leverage the new hardware's capabilities as the reason for the staggered launch.

Fans eager to step into the role of a young James Bond in this original story will still be able to do so this spring on most systems. The decision to postpone the Switch 2 build ensures the developers can deliver a polished experience tailored to the console's specific features, though it means Switch 2 owners will have to wait a bit longer to experience the mission. Further details on the exact summer release date are expected in the coming months.
