007 First Light Release Date
007 First Light is currently scheduled to release worldwide on 27 May 2026, after a short delay from its original March window. The game was first given a 27 March 2026 date during a dedicated showcase, but IO Interactive pushed it back by two months for extra polish, which is pretty common for big cinematic games now. It’s still very much a 2026 title, and the delay has been framed as a quality move rather than a sign of trouble behind the scenes.
@SpawnPoiint posted on X that 007 First Light is set to release on March 27, 2026, adding that the game looks great and the Collector’s Edition looks unreal.
For players tracking calendars and pre‑orders, this new date means 007 First Light lands in late May, in that busy “pre‑summer” window where big story‑driven games usually try to grab attention before the holiday rush. It also makes the game the first major James Bond release in over a decade, which adds a bit of event‑game energy around the launch.
007 First Light Voice Cast
The main 007 First Light cast brings a fresh, younger set of faces to classic James Bond roles. The goal is to sell this as a true origin story, not just “another Bond skin” on a generic action hero.
- Patrick Gibson – James Bond, a 26‑year‑old recruit still figuring out how to be deadly and controlled at the same time.
- Priyanga Burford – M, the commanding MI6 boss who keeps the Double‑0 program on a tight leash.
- Alastair Mackenzie – Q, providing gadgets, dry comments, and the occasional lifesaving device.
- Kiera Lester – Miss Moneypenny, sharp and observant, with a more modern, active role around operations.
- Lennie James – John Greenway, Bond’s mentor, meant to ground the rookie agent with experience and a few hard lessons.
- Noémie Nakai – Miss Roth, a mysterious new figure tied to Bond’s missions and the bigger conspiracy.
- Gemma Chan – Selina Tan, Head of Tactical Simulation at MI6, overseeing training scenarios and pressure‑testing Bond’s choices.
The casting leans heavily on performers known for nuanced TV roles, which should help the game feel more like a prestige drama that happens to be playable.
Lead Characters and Their Abilities
The lead characters in 007 First Light are built around specific abilities combat, tech, intel, and mentorship that shape how missions feel moment to moment. Bond, as expected, sits at the center, but the supporting cast quietly controls how far he can push things before everything breaks.
James Bond is trained as a versatile field agent, with a toolkit that covers stealth takedowns, close‑quarters combat, gunplay, and social infiltration at high‑society events. In gameplay terms, that translates to multiple paths through a mission: sneaking through vents, blending into a crowd at a gala, or going loud when a plan falls apart.
Q focuses on gadgets like lasers that cut through weak points, smoke devices to disrupt enemies, and tech that turns the environment itself into a weapon. M, Greenway, and Selina Tan represent strategic oversight; their “abilities” show up more in briefings, simulations, and the consequences that follow if Bond gets too reckless.
It creates the feeling that this young agent is talented but constantly being watched, graded, and nudged toward becoming the legend fans already know.

The game will be available as a digital download on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via major storefronts once it launches on 27 May 2026.

About 007 First Light PS5
On PS5, 007 First Light is positioned as a flagship narrative action‑adventure, using IO Interactive’s Glacier engine to deliver stealth, combat, driving, and gadget‑driven missions built around a young Bond’s training and early field work. The story follows Bond from his days as a Royal Navy air crewman into MI6’s toughest training program, framing each mission as a step toward earning that famous 00 status.
The PS5 version is designed to take advantage of the hardware’s strengths, with fast loading, detailed environments, and support for modern visual modes, while DualSense features can be used to add extra feedback to driving, gunplay, and spy gadgets. For players who’ve been waiting years for a fresh James Bond game that feels modern rather than nostalgic, 007 First Light on PS5 is being treated as a full reboot moment, not just another movie tie‑in.
