If you are waiting on Bond for Nintendo Switch 2, you finally have a calendar number to watch, not just "later this summer." Amazon Japan is listing a physical Switch 2 Specialist Edition of IO Interactive's 007 First Light for September 16, 2026. That is a retailer date, not an IO Interactive press confirmation. Treat it as a strong signal that lines up with the studio's summer window, not as a sealed day-one promise.
Status board: confirmed vs retailer-listed

IO Interactive's own Year One roadmap post keeps the Nintendo line soft on purpose:
007 First Light will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 this Summer 2026, bringing the full Bond experience to Nintendo players.
Amazon Japan's product page for the Switch 2 Specialist Edition is blunter: the item "will be released on September 16, 2026." Mid-September still fits a late-summer ship window. Until IO Interactive or Nintendo posts the date, keep one eye on preorder cancel policies.
