The new 007 video game, 007 First Light, has been delayed. The studio says this is to make sure the game lives up to fans’ expectations. While we wait for more news about Amazon’s 007 reboot, fans will have to wait a bit longer to play the new game next year.
IO Interactive CEO and game director Hakan Abrak announced on the game’s social media that the release of 007 First Light is being delayed by two months. He explained that this will allow the team to deliver the highest quality experience, filled with exciting action, international locations, espionage, gadgets, and thrilling car chases.
We’re announcing that the release of 007 First Light will be delayed by two months, now scheduled for May 27, 2026.
007 First Light is our biggest project yet. The team has worked tirelessly to create an incredible James Bond adventure, packed with exciting action, international locations, clever spy work, cool gadgets, and thrilling car chases.
Being an independent developer gives us the freedom to make sure the game is polished and meets our players’ expectations right from the start.
The game is currently complete and playable, and we’re using the next two months to fine-tune everything and make sure it’s the best it can be when we release it.
We believe 007 First Light is well-positioned for a successful future, and we’re very grateful for your understanding and ongoing support since we first announced the game.
We’ll have more news about 007 First Light coming in early 2026. Thanks again for all your support!
What Might ‘007 First Light’ Tell Us About the Amazon Reboot?
IO Interactive
Scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and other platforms in 2026, 007 First Light will tell a brand new, original story. The game focuses on the beginnings of James Bond, portraying him as a talented but headstrong naval airman who is recruited by MI6.
As a huge Bond fan, I’ve been wondering what Amazon’s planning for 007, and this new video game, 007 First Light, might give us some hints. Apparently, Patrick Gibson, who you might know from Dexter: Original Sin, is playing Bond in the game, and he’s quickly become a frontrunner with the bookmakers to land the role in the next live-action film. It’s definitely interesting to see who they’re considering!

There’s a strong rumor that Amazon, now in charge of the James Bond films, plans to reboot the series with a much younger 007, showing his early days before he became a licensed agent. Although the game 007 First Light isn’t the next movie, it might offer clues about the direction the films will take under director Denis Villeneuve.
