IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak has assured fans that the Switch 2 version of 007 First Light is still in the works, and that he will do whatever he can to ensure a good quality release.

The game is set for release on May 27th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Switch 2, or at least, that was the plan. Last month, IO announced that the Switch 2 version of the game had been delayed, and given a tentative release window of this summer.

Speaking with The Game Business’s Chris Dring, Abrak was asked if there was a risk of the game “doing a Borderlands 4”, where the game gets delayed shortly before launch and seemingly put on ice.

“What did Borderlands do?” Abrak asked. “They announced it was coming to Switch 2, and then delayed it, and then it disappeared,” Dring replied.

“No, no, no”, Abrak replied. “It’s running on the Switch [2]. We must just admit that we want to make sure that it is as good as… Like, I don’t want to hear ‘Oh, it wasn’t a good version, blah, blah, blah. So we just, to be completely honest, we need a bit more time to get it where we want it to be.”

“And, you know, we said summer… probably going to be late summer, right? But we’re going to get it out.”

Abrak later responded to Dring’s comments regarding GoldenEye for Nintendo 64, saying that Bond has a “special place” on Nintendo platforms.

“Bond has a special place on that platform, on Nintendo,” Abrak said. “And, you know, I promise I will do everything – and I can do quite a lot in IO’s context, being the CEO as well – I’ll do everything to get that out in great shape.”
