2026 is almost here, and the holidays are in full force, but that won't stop companies from sharing news of game delays. To that end, players will be waiting longer for their next outing with James Bond, as 007 First Light is being delayed a bit, developer and publisher IO Interactive shared on Tuesday via Bluesky.

Originally slated to launch on March 27, 2026, the game is being pushed two months forward and is now scheduled to arrive on May 27, 2026.

"The game is progressing well and is fully playable from beginning to end, so these additional two months will allow us to further polish and refine the experience, ensuring we deliver the strongest possible version at launch," writes game director Hakan Abrak.

An important update regarding the release date of 007 First Light.
