007 First Light finally has a release date on Nintendo Switch 2, and the game will be released nearly a year after it arrived on previous platforms. Debuting on PS5, PC, and Xbox earlier this year, 007 First Light features a version of James Bond early in his career as an MI6 agent. Developed by IO Interactive, the game abandoned the first-person perspective seen in the majority of Bond games, focusing instead on third-person action and adventure.
007 First Light was well-received upon release, and it quickly proved to be a commercial success, as well. The game has already sold more than 4 million copies worldwide, and that number should see a boost once the Nintendo Switch 2 version is available. The original Switch often struggled to run big AAA games, and those that did arrive on the system often saw major compromises. The Switch 2 era has been a stark contrast, as major games like Resident Evil Requiem have been released on the system on day one. Publishers are making Nintendo's system a bigger priority, though games like 007 First Light and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight have needed some extra development time....
