Developed and published by IO Interactive, 007 First Light launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on May 27, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for later in the year.
The game serves as a completely original James Bond origin story centered around a younger, 26-year-old Bond during his early MI6 training years. Players will undertake international espionage missions using stealth, gadgets, social infiltration, and direct combat while uncovering a larger political conspiracy tied to Bond’s rise toward earning his 00 status.
