007 First Light will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on March 18, 2027, with pre-orders now available alongside a new gameplay trailer showcasing the upcoming James Bond game running on Nintendo’s hardware.
Developer and publisher IO Interactive confirmed the release date on October 14 in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios. The announcement gives Nintendo Switch 2 players a new date to look forward to as the studio continues development and works on optimizing the game for the platform.
The upcoming title reimagines James Bond’s origin story, offering a new take on the iconic secret agent before he becomes the experienced spy familiar to fans of the franchise.
007 First Light Pre-Orders and Editions
Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 version are now open through the Nintendo Store, Amazon and selected retailers. Players can choose from different editions, with the Deluxe Edition offering additional in-game content.
The 007 First Light Deluxe Edition is priced at $69.99, €69.99 or £69.99 (suggested retail price). It includes early access to the GoldenEye Suit at launch, along with four gadgets: the Gleaming Lighter, Gleaming Earphones, Gleaming Dart Gun and Gleaming Pen.
The edition also features four additional outfits: Day of the Dead, Desert Explorer, Silent Anchor and Gentleman Operator.
A Nintendo Switch 2 Special Edition is also available exclusively through Amazon in the United States. This version includes the Classic Tuxedo, giving players another outfit option inspired by Bond’s signature style.
Nintendo Switch 2 Version Receives Additional Development Time
IO Interactive previously announced that the game needed additional development time to reach its intended quality. Since then, the studio has presented playable builds at gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, allowing attendees and press to experience the game on Nintendo Switch 2.
According to the developer, responses at both events were positive. The team will continue working on optimization and performance in the months leading up to the March 2027 launch.
The additional time is intended to help ensure that the Nintendo Switch 2 version delivers the experience expected from the upcoming James Bond adventure.
007 First Light Platforms and Release Date

. ## Defend Shady Hill From a Zombie Invasion *Dead Party* takes place in Shady Hill, a seemingly peaceful town where a Halloween night takes a disastrous turn after UFOs appear overhead. The strange event triggers a zombie outbreak, leaving four unlikely heroes to defend the neighborhood against the undead invasion. The game focuses on cooperative survival rather than simply eliminating enemies. Players must search their surroundings for resources, break objects to gather materials, construct barricades, and set traps to slow incoming waves. Different zombie types and map layouts will require teams to adapt their defenses as the invasion progresses. Players must coordinate their actions and make effective use of the resources available if they hope to survive. Music also plays a central role in combat. Characters can use guitars and music-based abilities to push back the undead, giving the game a rock-and-roll twist on the familiar zombie survival formula. ## Four Game Modes Offer Different Survival Challenges *Dead Party* features four distinct game modes, each presenting a different approach to defending against the zombie invasion. - **Stage Equipment:** Use stage equipment and music-powered abilities to hold back the undead. - **Antenna:** Activate generators and unleash radio waves to disrupt the invading forces. - **Skull Cannon:** Collect zombie skulls and use them to destroy UFOs. - **Horde:** Forget about escaping and see how long your team can survive against increasingly dangerous zombie waves. Players can also experience the game's Story Mode, which follows four unique characters. Each hero has individual abilities, strengths, weaknesses, equipment, and a personal storyline, giving players different approaches to the game's challenges. ## Online and Local Co-Op Support Designed around four-player cooperation, *Dead Party* supports both online and local co-op. Friends can coordinate defensive strategies, collect resources, and build barricades together as they attempt to withstand the invasion. The combination of environmental interactions, traps, different enemy types, and music-based combat is intended to keep each encounter unpredictable. Teams will need to balance preparation with quick decisions when their defenses begin to fail. With its Halloween-themed setting and cooperative gameplay, *Dead Party* is aiming to offer a different take on zombie survival when it arrives later this month. The game launches on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 29, 2026, with console releases expected in the weeks following its debut.
