James Bond Game '007 First Light' Delayed to May 2026
The upcoming James Bond video game, "007 First Light," developed by IO Interactive, has been delayed until May 27, 2026, according to the developer. The game was originally scheduled for release on March 27, but will now be released two months later.
IO Interactive, also known for the Hitman series, stated that the game is "fully playable from beginning to end" but requires additional time for "further polish," according to BBC Technology. The game will be the first video game featuring the British spy since 2012's "007 Legends," marking Bond's return to gaming after a 14-year absence.
The latest installment in the Bond video game series will star Dexter Or, according to BBC Technology. However, multi-source reporting from BBC Technology indicates that the game will star Patrick Gibson and will be a reimagined origin story.
The game is being developed in association with Delphi Interactive, which is also behind the upcoming FIFA game due to be released on Netflix ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to BBC Technology.
The delay has left fans "shaken, not stirred," according to multi-source reporting from BBC Technology, as they anticipate the game's release and hope it will surpass the legacy of classics like "GoldenEye 007."
