IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios have revealed 007 First Light, which is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
For the first time ever, you will be able to experience James Bond’s ascent at MI6 from a young 26-year-old recruit into a full-fledged spy. The promising yet rebellious Royal Navy air crewman is recruited into MI6, his sharp instincts and heroism in combat propelling him into the agency’s rigorous training program for the once-revered, and newly resurrected, elite 00 section.
The third-person action-adventure game looks to immerse you in the exotic and dangerous world of espionage captured in the films, with Bond’s adventures taking you all around the globe where you will come face to face with allies and foes, while choosing how to overcome obstacles and challenges – whether it be with brute force, cunning guile, or charming wit.
In his ascent to becoming 007, you will choose how to utilise Bond’s unique set of skills in combat, relationships, and the latest in Q’s technological gadgetry. On that journey, you will meet familiar faces like M, Q, and Moneypenny, and be introduced to new characters like Bond’s mentor John Greenway, the mysterious Isola, and a whole new cast of villains.
“With 25 years of experience in creating captivating action-adventure games with the Hitman franchise, our studio has been energised with this monumental opportunity in harnessing that expertise in bringing 007 back to video games,” enthuses IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak.
“We’re pouring our energy and passion for the franchise into creating a cinematic adventure that pushes the boundaries of what a James Bond game can be, while telling a fresh, new story. We can’t wait for players and fans to discover an experience tailor-made for them.”
007 First Light will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Those who sign up for an IOI account will receive an exclusive in-game item for 007 First Light at the game’s launch, along with additional rewards in the future.
