Missions List

007 First Light has 11 story missions by IO Interactive's own numbering, 00 Against the Odds to 10 For England, which the guide sites split into 17 chapters (11 played, 6 mostly cutscenes). Chapter Select opens after the story and jumps to any checkpoint.

007 First Light has 11 story missions as IO Interactive numbers them in its patch notes, from 00 Against the Odds in Iceland to 10 For England at MI6 headquarters, with 04 and 05 written together as "The Past Never Dies / Beyond the Grave". Guide sites count the same campaign as 17 chapters, 11 played and 6 cutscene chapters, because they also count the story scenes between missions. Both lists are below, with a page for each played mission, the time each chapter takes and how many challenges and collectibles it holds. Nothing in the campaign is missable: Chapter Select opens after the credits.

How many missions are in 007 First Light?

11 by IO Interactive's count, 17 by the guides'. IOI's patch notes give each story mission a two-digit number and file every fix under it, so its list is the official one. The guides (Beebom, PowerPyx and Gfinity) add six chapters that are mostly cutscenes or short walks around MI6, plus A New Home, such as In His Majesty's Secret Service, and they count The Past Never Dies as one chapter where IOI counts two. Other numbers that circulate (9, 11, "7 plus an epilogue") come from counting only some of these; Gfinity's own text says "nine total missions" while its table lists 17. This viki uses IOI's numbers when it numbers missions and says "PowerPyx's Chapter 10" when it means the guides' list.

The missions, by IO Interactive's numbers

No. Mission Location Guides' chapter
00 Against the Odds Iceland, a research site taken over by mercenaries 1
01 The Needle's Eye Malta, the 00 training grounds 3 (with 5, A New Home)
02 A Night Out A London nightclub 6
03 All the Time in the World The Grand Carpathian Hotel, Slovakia 8
04 and 05 The Past Never Dies / Beyond the Grave Aleph, Mauritania 10
06 Uninvited Bond's Bayswater flat, then a gala at a Kensington museum 11
07 Knightfall Webb Industries headquarters, City of London 12
08 Time to Die The Pearl resort, Vietnam 14
09 Wave of the Future Webb's research facility, Antarctica 16
10 For England MI6 headquarters, London 17

Sources: IOI 1.3.0 patch notes, Oct 1, 2026; IOI's official site; Beebom, May 27, 2026. Where A New Home falls in IOI's numbering is not stated in its notes; this viki covers it with The Needle's Eye, since both are Bond's training in Malta. IOI's notes file some London hub fixes under nearby missions (Q-Lab fixes sit under 02 A Night Out), so its missions take in parts of the guides' cutscene chapters too.

Gfinity lists no challenges for The Needle's Eye and A Night Out; whether they have none is not settled. Gfinity also spells Chapter 3 "The Needle's Eyes", against every other list.

Beebom's times add up to about 12 hours 20 minutes for a straight run (our sum: 10 hours 52 minutes played, 1 hour 26 minutes of cutscene chapters), while Beebom's own estimate for the whole story is about 20 hours. Players who explore take longer; the estimates are on How Long to Beat.

What are challenges?

Each played mission carries a list of challenges, tied to how you get past its obstacles, which reward replaying a mission a different way (Shacknews, May 26, 2026). They have names of their own: Against the Odds has "00 to become", For England has "Bring a Fist to a Gunfight". The trophies tied to them are on Trophies and Achievements.
