New 007 First Light DLC on the horizon

To say IO Interactive’s 007 First Light has been a success would be an understatement — the game has managed to sell four million copies, and that’s from August, so we can assume that the number is climbing further, especially when it eventually releases on the Nintendo Switch 2. But, the studio is far from staying quiet.

IOI has teased that a new DLC is coming quite literally tomorrow. The teased DLC is likely the Aston Martin Valhalla update, which at the bare minimum would include a new TacSim mission, but it’s also possible to introduce players to some more stuff part of the extensive roadmap.

Beyond this, though, players can expect a new story DLC down the line about Bawama down the line, but there’s not concrete release date just yet. Oh yeah, and in case you didn’t pick up on it, this upcoming update is totally free, which we’re sure won’t be the case for the Bawama story DLC.

In our 007 First Light review, we said: “While underdeveloped stealth mechanics, restrictive mission design, awkward traversal, and some combat frustrations raise challenges, the strengths far outweigh the weaknesses. Outstanding production values, thrilling action set pieces, strong performances, satisfying gunplay, and great technical performance make this an impressive debut for IO Interactive’s 007.”
