TechRadar reported that IO Interactive has released 007 First Light’s first major free DLC, pairing new playable missions with Update 1.3.0 changes that touch features, rewards and stability.

The Extended Operations package adds New Game Plus, Photo Mode and a new “00” difficulty level.

Those features answer several requests from players after the game’s release earlier this year, giving returning players a harder route through the campaign and a way to capture scenes outside standard gameplay.

The update also expands the playable content around Bond’s field work.

Jungle Heist sends players back to The Pearl villa in Vietnam to recover special documents, while Valhalla Protocol puts the Aston Martin Valhalla back into use through a TacSim driving activity set in Slovakia.

That TacSim activity shifts the car sequence into a scored side route where the vehicle’s machine guns and missile launchers become part of the challenge.

IO Interactive framed it as a driving-skill test rather than a normal story chapter, with players trying to improve their score on the open-road course.

The equipment and cosmetic additions are smaller but broaden the software update’s reward loop.

Storm 12 Gauge and Squire Marksman Rifle weapons have been added to TacSim, three new Bond outfits are available, and an IOI Account reward called The Grey Standard can be claimed until November 1.

A separate Twitch Drop outfit is available from today until October 16.

IO Interactive is also using the update to mark seven million wishlists for the game.

Players can now meet Jack the Bulldog at MI6 HQ, a new support character described as a “distinguished and charming resident,” and the game allows players to pet him.

The most practical part of the release may be its repair list.

Extended Operations brings more than 700 fixes and improvements, covering crashes, progression blockers and weapon-handling animation refinements, so the DLC functions as both a content drop and a post-launch software stability pass.
