Year One Roadmap

0:05 IO Interactive published the 007 First Light Year One content roadmap on Jun 5, 2026, nine days after launch, promising "new story missions, exotic locations, and regular Tactical Simulation updates". Its four named locations were TacSim returns to Kensington, Slovakia, Mauritania and The Pearl in Vietnam, and it said New Game+ was "being explored". As of Nov 4, 2026, three of the four locations and New Game+ have shipped, in update 1.1.0 on Jul 24 and the free Extended Operations DLC on Oct 1. Still missing: the Mauritania content, the mission with Bawma that IOI teased on Aug 20, and the G2 Glasses gadget that IOI's roadmap video names.

Quick facts

The roadmap item by item

Sources: Year One Content Roadmap Revealed, IO Interactive, Jun 5, 2026; 1.1.0 Game Update, Jul 24, 2026; 1.3.0 Game Update, Oct 1, 2026; Switch 2 Date Confirmed, Oct 14, 2026.

The 00 difficulty and Photo Mode were not on the roadmap and came anyway with 1.3.0. The TacSim page lists every mode and unlock that has shipped.

What has shipped, and when?

Jul 24, 2026, update 1.1.0 "Behind Enemy Lines". Two three-tier Escalations: The Workshop, where seven hostiles stand between Bond and the exit, and Extraction Avenues, an escape against a closing response. Four rewards at 3,000 Intel: the Stormberg 50'cal, DRX-2 Machine Pistol, DRS-7 Silenced SMG and the outfit "Diamond in the Rough".

0:03 Oct 1, 2026, update 1.3.0 Extended Operations. New Game+, the 00 Difficulty, Photo Mode, the Valhalla Protocol (four driving missions, playable from Oct 5), Jungle Heist at The Pearl, the Storm 12 Gauge and Squire Marksman Rifle, three outfits and Jack the Bulldog.

Oct 29, 2026, Hotfix 1.3.2. Two more outfits, "The Grey Standard" as a TacSim unlock and "Midnight Recon", whose unlock IOI has not announced. See Outfits and Unlocks and Patch Notes and Updates.

What has not shipped yet?

0:29 Mauritania. The roadmap's return to Aleph's black market, with off-road encounters, has not appeared in any patch notes as of Nov 4, 2026. Aleph is where the campaign meets Bawma, in The Past Never Dies.

0:42 The Bawma mission. IOI's Aug 20, 2026 post, which announced 4 million sales, said that after events in Mauritania "an unexpected alliance between MI6 and Pirate King Bawma" will need Bond on a sensitive mission. Game Rant's account of the roadmap (Jun 6, 2026) also lists a new mission teaming MI6 with Bawma. In IOI's Jun 6, 2026 roadmap video, Dominic Vega says "we will then continue the story with a whole new mission for Bond in the field", after MI6 and Bawma "have made an alliance after the events in Mauritania". None of them gives a name or a date.

0:56 G2 Glasses. Game Rant's account lists a G2 Glasses gadget, and so does IOI's own roadmap video, in which Dominic Vega says Q "will also be working on an exciting new gadget, the G2 glasses, opening for new gameplay opportunities and creative freedom". IOI's written roadmap names no such gadget: it carries only a closing section "About the Even Realities G2 Glasses", a real pair of smart glasses, without saying how they tie into the game. Nothing called G2 has appeared in an update as of Nov 4, 2026, and IOI has given it no date.

What did IOI tease on Aug 20?

Besides the Bawma alliance, IOI's Aug 20 post said players "will uncover new intelligence about Webb Industries" and investigate a mysterious technology that "could become one of Bond's deadliest opponents". Webb Industries' headquarters is the setting of mission 07, Knightfall. IOI has given no date or format for this content as of Nov 4, 2026, and no paid DLC has been announced. The game's longer future is on Sequel.
