007 First Light on Nintendo Switch 2 is “seeing really good progress”

One of the biggest gaming launches this year was the new James Bond game 007 First Light which received positive reviews and decent word of mouth. The Nintendo Switch 2 version was unfortunately pushed back in an effort to make sure that it was up to scratch. Today, we’ve had a new update on the status of 007 First Light on Nintendo Switch 2 from IO Interactive. Here’s what we have learnt:

How’s it shaping up:

“It’s charging ahead, it’s going great, we’re seeing really good progress on the optimization side of things, because that’s basically what it’s all about for us,” Smit says to me on a Teams meeting last week. Right now, Smit expresses that “we want to make sure that we give it its time in optimization and performance, [so] that it reaches the quality that not only we desire, but that we feel our players deserve.”

When it’s due to be released:

“We’re just looking forward to later this summer, moving into it, and you know, in the future coming once we’re ready to share even more, we will, but from what I can share, at least now, is things are on track and moving, and that it’s going well.”
