One day after IO Interactive announced a delay for its James Bond game, 007: First Light, to May 27, 2026, pre-orders are now live with standard, deluxe, and premium editions. The game features Patrick Gibson as a young Bond and a strong supporting cast, with the studio confirming it is fully playable from start to finish.
IO Interactive postponed 007: First Light—its first original James Bond game—from March 27 to May 27, 2026, to refine performance, animations, and missions, as detailed in yesterday's announcement. Known for the Hitman series, the Danish studio emphasized delivering a cinematic experience worthy of the franchise.
Set during Bond's early MI6 days, the game stars Patrick Gibson (Dexter: Original Sin) as the titular agent. The cast includes Lennie James as Greenway, Priyanga Burford as M, Alastair Mackenzie as Q, Kiera Lester as Moneypenny, and Noémie Nakai as Ms. Roth.
Pre-orders are available across platforms:
- Standard edition ($69.99): Automatic upgrade to deluxe, including cosmetic items and 24-hour early digital access.
- Premium edition ($299.99): Base game, deluxe content, Golden Gun figurine, certificate of authenticity, magnetic steelbook, Golden Gun weapon skin, and Obsidian Gold suit.
Revealed at PlayStation State of Play in September 2025, the stealth-action title builds high expectations. The delay reflects IO Interactive's commitment to quality for this ambitious project.
