How Many Missions Are There in 007 First Light?

There are 9 missions in 007 First Light, and while there is a lot more content than just those 9 missions (as some playable sections and story moments occur outside of these missions), those very 9 are where you'll get the most content. Each mission is filled with collectibles and challenges, so replaying them is advised so that you can pursue every avenue of success and complete every challenge to not only prove how skillful you are as James Bond, but also unlock unique outfits for TacSim. 8/10 007 First Light Action

Amazon MGM probably also wants it to sell millions, so any and all measures will be taken to make that a reality. This includes an unexpected cameo by TikTok star Khaby Lame, who has previously appeared

Can You Use the 'New Zealand Trick' to Play 007 First Light Early?

No, the New Zealand trick will not work for 007: First Light, as IO Interactive is implementing a synchronized global launch rather than a rolling midnight regional release. This means that the game unlocks at the same moment worldwide. You can still play the game early with the 24-hour early access included in the deluxe edition (acquired by pre-ordering the game). The pre-load for 007: First Light begins exactly 48 hours prior to the global unlock time.
