Overview

  • The James Bond game was moved from its previously planned March 27, 2026 release to May 27, 2026.
  • The studio calls First Light its most ambitious project to date and says development is progressing well.
  • Platforms at launch include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
  • The new date lands in a May window left clearer after Grand Theft Auto 6 shifted to November 2026.
  • First Light is an origin story starring Patrick Gibson as a young Bond, with Lenny Kravitz playing villain Bawma, and IOI plans more updates in early 2026.
