007: First Light launches today on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S with IO Interactive already outlining post-release TacSim content to extend play beyond the main story.
TacSim, accessed from MI6 headquarters, lets players take bespoke challenges that remix existing levels with new rules, conditions and even combat encounters not present in the original campaign.
IO said the mode is meant to answer replayability concerns around the game's linear, narrative-driven design, borrowing the long-tail support model it used for Hitman while stressing the Bond game remains structurally different.
Leaderboards are also part of the plan, with senior combat designer Tom Marcham saying the studio hopes speedrunning communities will compete in TacSim challenges as the content roadmap expands.
