SNACK: 3-line summary
- 007 First Light’s free Extended Operations DLC is out, adding New Game+, 00 difficulty and Photo Mode.
- Complete the campaign on any difficulty to carry unlocked outfits and gadgets into a replay; choosing 00 is optional.
- New TacSim missions bring armed-car challenges in the Slovakian Mountains and a stealth return to The Pearl in Vietnam.
007 First Light’s free Extended Operations DLC has been available since October 1, 2026. Its New Game+ lets campaign completers bring unlocked outfits and gadgets into another run without having to choose the new 00 difficulty.
Snackgirls react
Red: The armed Valhalla missions are calling to me. I’d go after the time bonuses and see how high I could push the score.
Nea: I’m more drawn to a quiet return to The Pearl. I’d like to linger over the villa’s layout and find my own route to the documents.
Keep your unlocks and choose your challenge
Finishing the campaign on any difficulty unlocks New Game+. You can restart from the beginning or from a completed checkpoint, carrying your unlocked outfits and gadgets with you. Easy, Normal and Hard remain available for the replay.
For players looking for a tougher run, 00 difficulty unlocks alongside New Game+. Guards react faster to bodies and disturbances, some guard archetypes are replaced with tougher ones, and gadget use is restricted within a guard’s line of sight. Combat also demands tighter timing for parries and side-steps.
Take the armed Valhalla into the mountains
Valhalla Protocol adds four TacSim missions in the Slovakian Mountains with the armed Aston Martin Valhalla. Day and night challenges feature targets, time bonuses and scores to chase.
Another new mission returns to The Pearl resort in Vietnam to retrieve classified documents from a guarded villa. The entire property, including the rooftop, is playable, while the interiors have been redesigned for stealth. TacSim also gains access to the full main-campaign arsenal.
Freeze the action for a photo
Photo Mode lets you pause the action, adjust UI visibility, pose characters and change the camera position and lens. Brightness controls, post-processing filters, background options and logo frames offer more ways to shape the shot.
The DLC also refines weapon-handling animations and adds a small but dangerous change to fights near an edge: Bond can now be thrown off ledges himself. Previously, only his opponents could be on the receiving end.
