A possible release date for 007: First Light on Nintendo Switch 2 has surfaced online ahead of an official announcement from IO Interactive. While the developer previously confirmed that the Switch 2 version would launch after the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC editions, it has only committed to a summer release window without providing a specific date.
An Amazon Japan listing now points to September 16, 2026, as the release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version. The listing also prices the game at 8,910 yen (around $54) and indicates that the physical edition will ship as a Game-Key Card, requiring players to download the game rather than storing it entirely on the cartridge.
If the leaked date proves accurate, 007: First Light will launch during one of the busiest months of 2026. September is expected to feature several major releases, including Marvel Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, NBA 2K27, and The Blood of Dawnwalker, creating stiff competition for the new James Bond title.
IO Interactive has yet to confirm the reported date, so fans should treat the listing as a rumor until the studio makes an official announcement. The developer previously revealed that the Switch 2 version would follow the game’s launch on other platforms, making a September release a plausible possibility.
Separately, it was recently confirmed that Amazon Games will publish future James Bond titles, including any potential sequel to 007: First Light.
