You might be wondering how long the 007 First Light story is, whether you’re halfway through or thinking of buying it and just want to make sure it’s value for money.
Developer IO Interactive has truly struck gold with this game, and it’s already eclipsing their hugely popular Hitman series when it comes to sales.
As well as a series of linear missions, 007 First Light does have some side content to enjoy, such as TacSims, but how much is there?
For all the details on how many hours it will take to beat the 007 First Light story, as well as approximations for both rushed and completionist playthroughs, read on!
How long is 007 First Light? Bond game length and time to beat
An average playthrough of 007 First Light will likely take roughly 15 hours to beat.
This assumes that, as well as managing to clear every mission without too much trouble, you spend a bit of time completing some of the game’s side content.
This includes things like Tacism, a mode in which you can take on combat and stealth challenges to unlock new outfits, weapons and gadgets.
If you were to skip all of this side content, however, and just focus on the story, then you can probably complete the game in as few as 10-12 hours.
Conversely, if you want to get 100% completion in 007 First Light, you’re going to be spending closer to 25-35 hours, if not more.
This is because as well as simply completing all of the story missions, 007 First Light has all sorts of collectibles and secrets to uncover, as well as different ways to approach each level.
If you’ve ever played any of the Hitman games – developer IO Interactive’s original series – then you likely know already quite how replayable some of these missions are when it comes to figuring out different solutions.
For that reason, 100% completion will likely take a couple of playthroughs at least, though naturally, subsequent playthroughs will be progressively shorter than your very first one.
So, to recap:
- Normal playthrough – ~15 hours
- Fast playthrough – 10-12 hours
- 100% completionist playthrough – 25-35+ hours
