IO Interactive today revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of 007 First Light will no longer release in 2026.
007 First Light made quite the splash when it launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC back in May. The game's original take on James Bond was not only positively received by critics, but also by fans. As of August 20, 2026, the game had sold over 4 million copies, making it one of the year's fastest selling games. It's a remarkable achievement for a series that hadn't seen a new game release in more than a decade.
