007 First Light Just Received Its Biggest Update Since Release

007 First Light has today received its largest update yet since its release back in May. Upon its launch, 007 First Light went on to be a pretty huge success for developer IO Interactive. Not only was the action-adventure title well-received critically, but it also sold at quite a high rate. Now, as a way of trying to sustain this early momentum, a substantial new patch for 007 First Light has now gone live and has given players even more of a reason to continue playing.

Downloadable now, update version 1.1.0 to 007 First Light most notably adds some new content to the game. Specifically, this content centers around a pair of new missions that are playable in TacSim. These stages have been joined by three new weapons that are now usable across TacSim, while Bond himself has a new outfit he can wear in these levels.

While these represent the biggest inclusions with this 007 First Light update, they’re far from the only ones. IO Interactive has also made hundreds of smaller tweaks to the game with this patch which have impacted gameplay, challenges, cutscenes, and certain missions. Most of these alterations have been tied to fixing various bugs, while others have been tied to performance struggles that the game has had on specific platforms.

To get a look at everything that has been changed in 007 First Light with today’s new update, you can find the full patch notes attached below.
