Ever since Daniel Craig stepped away from the role of James Bond after his final film, No Time To Die, fans have been clamoring for a chance to get a glimpse of which star will take over the role next, and what their choice of style will be. While we’ve gotten a few major casting updates for the role over the past few months, it seems like the role is still taking on auditions for the legendary role of 007.
While we’ll still have to wait to see which actor will lead the new era of the 007 film franchise, the series has grown far beyond both its novel and movie origins. The newest Bond star, who has already been turning heads since his appearance, has just gotten a brand-new look that we couldn’t be happier to see.
As announced on the official 007GameIOI account on X, Bond’s newest star is reprising his role once more for the first official content update to the critically acclaimed 007: First Light. This is offering two new escalation missions, three new weapons, and a brand-new suit to unlock by completing the additional objectives tied to completing the two escalations from the surprise shadowdrop.
With both of the two Escalation missions taking place in the W&A Museum gala during the ‘Uninvited’ chapter of First Light, the first focuses on ‘The Workshop’ area of the level that encourages taking down targets silently, while the second, ‘Extraction Avenues’, focuses on escaping by any means necessary before additional reinforcements arrive.
Alongside the new levels, players will also be able to unlock a new pistol and two submachine guns which seem to be some variation of a Desert Eagle, an MP5, and a Mac-10. Alongside the new weapons, you’ll also be able to finally gain access to the uniquely styled diamond in the rough suit for 007, which was the only suit in 007 First Light that players still had no way of unlocking after release.
While Bond’s stylish new look isn’t going to knock your socks off or make up for the fact that we’re still eagerly awaiting a new update for the 007 cinematic universe, the latest content update is only the tip of the iceberg for what is coming to 007 First Light from its year one content roadmap.
With a brand-new story expansion having already been teased on top of these smaller content updates, it seems like the future of 007: First Light and its star Patrick Gibson are brighter than ever, offering the perfect way to help relive the series’ rebooted golden age while we wait for an official return to the series on the big screen.
