007 First Light is the newest iteration of one of media’s most beloved characters, James Bond. This fresh take on the character and story pays homage to a variety of other games players have fallen in love with over the past few decades, while also carving out its own identity to great effect. But in an age when games are increasingly expensive, it’s fair to wonder just how much content you’ll get from this Bond outing. Luckily, it’s all good news here. Let’s look at how long it takes to beat 007 First Light.
How long does it take to beat 007 First Light?
An average playthrough of 007 First Light, which includes beating the main campaign and engaging in some limited side content, will take around 12 hours. This is a fairly solid runtime for a third-person action adventure experience and makes it among the longest games in the overarching 007 franchise — though it’s worth noting that 007 First Light doesn’t actually have any direct connections to previous 007 games.
Of course, if you want to see and do everything in 007 First Light, you’ll be adding some more hours to your playtime — potentially upwards of 30 hours, depending on how you approach things. This will include finding a staggering collection of very well-hidden collectibles, as well as tackling the Tacism mode, which sees Bond take on combat and stealth challenges to unlock cosmetics and other unique items.
Whether you opt to call it quits after seeing the main campaign through, or face all of the challenges to earn full completion, 007 First Light should provide a rock-solid Bond experience for franchise fans and newcomers alike.
