What 007 First Light is
007 First Light is a standalone, re-imagined origin story created by IO Interactive with Amazon MGM Studios. It follows a 26-year-old James Bond before he becomes the fully established agent audiences know. Bond begins as a Royal Navy air crewman, then enters MI6 training after recruitment into the agency’s newly resurrected 00 section.

What to know before pre-ordering Switch 2
- Confirm that the listing is the Nintendo Switch 2 version and shows March 18, 2027, rather than the 2026 versions for other platforms.
- Check whether your territory’s listing is physical or digital and whether the displayed currency is a recurring price or a retailer promotion.
- Review the edition name carefully: Deluxe bonuses, the Amazon-exclusive Classic Tuxedo and Legacy collector items are separate offerings.
- Plan for an internet connection on first launch so the Day 1 patch can install, even if you intend to play the campaign offline afterward.
