What Is 007 First Light?

007 First Light is an action-adventure James Bond game from IO Interactive — and an original origin story, not a movie tie-in. This wiki overview sizes up the game before you dive into the missions and chapters guides.

Origin Story
An original story — Bond earning his 00 status, not a film adaptation.
The Protagonist
A 26-year-old James Bond, fresh from the Royal Navy into MI6.
Perspective
A third-person action-adventure.
How It Plays
Linear story missions plus open, Hitman-style stealth sandboxes.

Story · New FacesOfficial · IO Interactive

Most objectives have more than one answer. Scout a route, grab a disguise, bluff past a guard, or go loud — the systemic design rewards experimentation. The big gameplay missions open up like sandboxes; the interludes keep the story moving between them.

▣ Design Note

Built on IO Interactive's Hitman design — with more forward momentum. “Not Hitman with James Bond.”

007 First Light Collectibles

92
total collectibles

007 First Light has 92 collectibles confirmed across multiple sources, spread across five types: Cards, Intel, Mementos, Postcards, Legacy Items.

One honest caveat this wiki keeps front and center: the per-mission collectible counts are disputed between community guides for most chapters — only 7 of the 17 missions have agreed per-mission numbers. So treat any single-mission breakdown you find elsewhere as an estimate. The 007 First Light missions guide shows the agreed counts plainly and flags the conflicting ones as ranges rather than guessing.
