  "account": "007 First Light is set to release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on March 18, 2027, according to IO Interactive, the development team behind the game. The original launch date had been pushed back to this year, but IO Interactive has now confirmed that the delay has allowed them more time to polish the game's performance and optimisation. The studio has shared that they will continue to refine the game's performance on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the months leading up to the launch. IO Interactive has already shown hands-on builds of the game at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, receiving positive player feedback from both events. The Deluxe Edition of 007 First Light, which includes additional gadgets and outfits, is now available for pre-order at a price of $69.99 / £69.99. The Special Edition of the game, featuring the Classic Tuxedo, is also available on Amazon exclusively. Pre-orders of the game on Switch 2 will grant players early access to the GoldenEye Suit upon launch. Earlier this month, IO Interactive released the game's first major DLC, which added New Game Plus, Photo Mode, and a new 00 difficulty level, among other features.",
