007 First Light, which launched less than two weeks ago to critical acclaim, is set to receive a story DLC mission featuring the pirate king Bawma, played by Lenny Kravitz [1, 2].
Bawma, who briefly appears in the main game, will take center stage in the DLC, where players travel to Aleph, a pirate haven and criminal sanctuary that harbors a defector from MI6 [1, 2]. The DLC’s plot may also involve Bawma’s sister Harmony, whom he has been searching for years and whose location is known to MI6, adding a personal dimension to the story [1].
007 First Light combines stealth gameplay elements reminiscent of Hitman with an Indiana Jones-style adventure, which has been praised by critics. Polygon called it "an incredibly shiny, well-polished game that truly lives up to its name" [1]. The game is available on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox Series X with a Nintendo Switch version scheduled later this year [1].
Alongside the Bawma DLC, developers have announced a year-long content roadmap. It includes Tactical Simulation Mode challenges, a New Game+ mode, off-road deathracing in Aleph, returning locations, and new enemies [2]. Players can also expect gadget upgrades, new weapons, leaderboards, cosmetics, vehicles, and evolving storylines involving MI6 and Webb Industries, the organization featured in the game world [2].
The Bawma DLC and the ongoing content updates are planned for release late in 2026, though no exact date has been set [1, 2]. This roadmap promises to extend the game’s replayability and expand its narrative scope well beyond its initial release.
