How Long Is 007 First Light? (Length & Full Chapter List)

Quick answer

007 First Light is a focused, single-player campaign — not a 100-hour open world. Most players finish the main story in around 18–20 hours, with full completion (every collectible plus the TacSim challenges) landing at 25+ hours. The campaign runs across 17 chapters — 9 full gameplay missions and 8 shorter interludes.

How long is 007 First Light to beat?

A few things that shape your time:

• The opening training/tutorial stretch runs roughly the first 3 hours before the campaign fully opens up.
• Chasing all 92 collectibles adds a couple of hours — they're mapped per chapter in our collectibles guide.
• Nothing is missable. You can replay any checkpoint from Chapter Select, so 100% is always reachable on a single save.

The campaign alternates playable missions with shorter interludes — quieter hub or story chapters, several set in MI6's Q-Lab, that move the plot between the big missions.

Which 007 First Light chapter is longest?

Wave of the Future (Chapter 16, the Antarctica mission) is the longest single chapter — budget around 1 hour 45 minutes for it. The recurring Q-Lab interludes (Chapters 4, 7, 9, 13, 15) are the shortest, often 10–20 minutes of story and setup between missions.

Is there New Game+ or chapter replay?

There's no traditional New Game+, but Chapter Select lets you jump back into any chapter or checkpoint at will. That's how you mop up collectibles and earn the remaining achievements after the credits — your unlocks and progress carry over on the same save.

Completion times are based on launch reviews and player reports and will vary with difficulty and how much you explore.
