Mission context
007 First Light mixes campaign routes, gadget problem-solving, safe codes, and mission blockers. This page keeps the quick answer tied to the in-game location so you can jump back into the route without losing context.
Main story length
Most players will finish the campaign in roughly 12–20 hours. IO Interactive's gameplay director has cited about 20 hours for an average player.
Your exact time swings with difficulty and play style: skilled players on a lower difficulty can finish closer to 15 hours, while cautious players who reload to perfect stealth can push past 25.
Completionist time
If you want everything — the Tactical Simulator missions, collectables, and trophies/achievements — expect 30–40+ hours including TacSim missions, collectables, and trophies/achievements.
The Tactical Simulator missions in particular add a meaningful chunk of optional content on top of the main campaign.
What changes your playtime
- Difficulty — higher difficulty means more retries.
- Play style — pure stealth and frequent reloads add time versus a direct approach.
- Exploration — hunting collectables and optional objectives extends each chapter.
