We just got an extended eyeful of 007: First Light gameplay, and developer IO Interactive had one extra surprise at the end of it. We knew the game was launching sometime in 2026, but it’s coming a whole lot sooner than you might have expected – in fact, we’re getting the James Bond game before GTA 6.

007: First Light launches on March 27, 2026. Pre-orders will get you 24 hours of early access, as well as a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition with a handful of extra skins. (I guess that makes it less of a Deluxe Edition and more of a pre-order bonus that you can pay for later.)

This story is developing.
