007 First Light Is Getting A New Story Mission, But It Features Its Worst Character

I loved 007 First Light when I https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/007-first-light-review-youth-in-revolt/">reviewed it a few weeks ago, but I was glad Bawma, the pirate portrayed by Lenny Kravitz, didn't get much screen time.

Unfortunately, he's getting more screen time soon, as IO Interactive has announced during https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/">Summer Game Fest that a new story mission is on the way, and it focuses on the surprisingly rizz-less Bawma.

IO didn't mention whether the new mission comes with a price tag, though sitting through more of Kravitz's janky line reads is a high enough price, I feel.

Alongside the new Bawma mission, the game's content roadmap for 2026 has been revealed, with several other beats to look forward to if you can't get enough of IO's original take on Bond.

007 First Light roadmap

The game's side mode, TacSim, will be adding new challenges and upgrades, and similar to your favorite TikTok pranksters, Bond will be getting his very own smartglasses as a new gadget.

The Switch 2 version is still on the way, as well as photo mode, new game plus, and a technical upgrade that will allow for path tracing.

You'll also want to have the game ready to boot up on October 5, as IO will be celebrating James Bond Day with an in-game reward.
