007 First Light Is Getting Free DLC Later This Week

007 First Light is getting new, free DLC later this week. IO Interactive has teased the new content via a short video on its socials, confirming it will arrive on Thursday, October 2. The DLC will be free, but as of right now, IO is remaining tight-lipped about what it will include. However, based on prior information, we can likely assume that this is the long-awaited Aston Martin Valhalla update. This content has been teased since launch in the game's main menu, and it appears it's finally being added to the game. It is expected to include a new TacSim mission featuring the Aston Martin Valhalla, which was used near the end of the game as part of a massive set piece. Given the extensive wait, this may add other items revealed as part of a larger roadmap for the game, such as new Game+, gadgets, and other missions.

Separately, 007 First Light is also set to get a new story DLC centered around Bawama, the pirate king warlord played by Lenny Kravitz. There's no firm release date for that content, though it's expected to be a premium add-on rather than a free update like what's coming later this week.

The game's Nintendo Switch 2 port is also still coming down the pipeline. It was expected to be out by now, but was recently pushed to 2027 to ensure it was as good as it could be for fans. Even without a steady stream of post-launch content, 007 First Light has been a big hit, selling 4 million copies in its first three months.
