IO Interactive has announced that its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, will not come to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the other editions. The Switch 2 version has been delayed to an unspecified date this summer.
The game’s other editions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC remain on schedule to launch on May 27. The game was originally set to release in March, but was delayed to May for quality reasons.
IO did not share any details on why First Light for Switch 2 has been delayed. However, the company did say it is working to deliver the “best game experience possible across all platforms.”
First Light won’t be IO’s first Switch 2 release, as the company previously released Hitman: World of Assassination on Switch 2. Unfortunately, it had a string of technical problems upon release, though IO launched post-release patches that improved the experience.
First Light isn’t the only game that’s been delayed recently for Switch 2. Gearbox, for example, paused development on the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4, prompting fears that it may never release. Beyond delays for full games, Disney Dreamlight Valley’s newest update, Whispers of the Wind, has been delayed for Switch and Switch 2.
First Light tells an origin story for James Bond, revealing how he become 007. Actor Patrick Gibson plays James Bond, with Lenny Kravitz portraying one of the villains. Check out the gallery below to see more of the game’s celebrity cast.
