IO Interactive has announced the release date for 007 First Light’s long-delayed Switch 2 version–March 18, 2027–and that’s not all. People who preorder the game for Switch 2 are getting something no other platform has: a ridiculously oversized tie.
Not just any ridiculously oversized tie, however. People who preorder First Light for Switch 2 get the GoldenEye Suit, and it includes the suit and tie that Pierce Brosnan wore in the famous 1995 movie, including the oversized tie.
Brosnan wore a lot of suits in that movie, but the one being referenced here is the one with the oversized tie, which was the style at the time.
GoldenEye has a special history with Nintendo specifically, which may help explain why Switch 2 owners are getting this outfit and no one else is. After all, 1997’s GoldenEye 007, which was based on the movie, is one of the most iconic N64 games of all time.
First Light has been a big hit, critically and commercially, scoring great reviews and selling more than 4 million copies, and that’s before the Switch 2 version even comes out.
The Switch 2 version of First Light was supposed to launch alongside the other versions in May 2026, but was later delayed multiple times. IO said a combination of factors contributed to delays.
In addition to the forthcoming Switch 2 version of First Light, IO is working on a new fantasy game. However, after Xbox pulled funding, IO laid off staff. Many also want to see IO work on the expected sequel to First Light, but no official announcements have been made.
