Developers at IO Interactive have announced a two‑month delay to the release of 007: First Light in order to further improve the game ahead of launch.
In an official statement, the studio noted that development is in its final phase and the game is fully playable from start to finish, but the extra time will let the team apply final polish and refinements to deliver the best possible experience for players. “We’re confident this decision will set 007: First Light up for long‑term success, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and support you’ve shown since the game was first announced,” the message reads.
The delay underlines the team’s commitment to quality and could strengthen the game’s position in an increasingly competitive market, where a highly polished launch is often crucial for attracting and retaining an audience.
