007 First Light Gets Free Extended Operations Update With New Game Plus and Photo Mode

Players who have been asking for more to do after the credits roll in 007 First Light now have it. The James Bond game is receiving a free DLC drop today called Extended Operations, and it covers several of the community's most common requests.

The headline addition is New Game Plus, which lets players start a fresh run of the story while keeping their progress. Alongside it comes a new, harder difficulty mode aimed at those who found the standard campaign too forgiving. Together, the two give the main story a proper reason to be played again.

A photo mode is also part of the package. It is a feature many players expected at launch, and it should please anyone who wants to capture Bond's globe-trotting set pieces and stylish moments in the game.

The update also expands the TacSim mission challenges with additional scenarios. These are built for players who prefer bite-sized, replayable tests of their skills over a full story run, and the new missions should add some variety to that side of the game.

Beyond the headline features, Extended Operations includes a couple of adjustments to the game. The source material does not go into detail on those tweaks, so players will want to check the full patch notes for specifics.

Because the update is free, there is no extra cost to try the new content. Anyone who has already finished the story, or who has been waiting for these features before returning, has a good reason to jump back in today.
