007 First Light Guide#

007 First Light is a single-player spy action-adventure developed and published by IO Interactive, released on May 27, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam / Epic). Built by the team behind the Hitman series on IOI’s in-house Glacier engine, it tells an original origin story: James Bond, a 26-year-old Royal Navy aircrewman, is recruited by MI6 into the re-established “00” program and gradually earns the “007” codename. The game shares no universe with any Bond film.

Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam / Epic) | Release date: 2026-05-27 | Type: single-player spy action-adventure

What the Sub-Guides Cover#

This hub condenses a much larger Chinese section that splits the game into dedicated sub-guides, one per system. The beginner guide covers difficulty selection, the four core systems, resource management, and early pitfalls to avoid. A story walkthrough follows the prologue and all ten named chapters, tracking key characters and how their missions connect. A weapons index covers the practical uses of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and situational weapons; a gadgets guide details the full Q Branch arsenal — the Q watch, Q mirror, dart phone, laser harness, and more. Separate pages handle stealth techniques (spy methods, social stealth, bluffing your way out, and cleanup afterward) and the combat system (Instinct, rules of engagement, close-quarters takedowns, and gunplay rhythm).

Location guides cover Iceland, Malta, London, Slovakia, Mauritania, Vietnam, and Antarctica. Further sub-guides list the 37 Steam achievements and 38 PS5 trophies, Q Lab loadouts and TacSim ranks, secrets and classic-007 Easter eggs, enemy dossiers, agent abilities, items, exploration and the Q mirror’s marking tricks, boss strategies for key duels such as Murto and Damian Webb, the single ending and post-game content, all 92 collectibles (playing cards, intel, memorabilia, postcards, and relics), a per-platform reception roundup, and a walkthrough overview of all 17 mission segments.
