“Even faster than Ferrari” – Fernando Alonso grabs Aston Martin’s best result of F1 2026

007: First Light, the James Bond video game, launched in May and received praise, but its car sequences were criticized as short and unmemorable. The game heavily teased the Aston Martin Valhalla, but never let Bond drive it properly. Recently, IO Interactive released a free DLC pack called Extended Operations that addresses this issue.

The DLC adds a mission called Valhalla Protocol, which lets players drive the Valhalla on the roads of Slovakia, using its weapons to take out drones and other vehicles. There's also a new TacSim Operation called Jungle Heist, which transforms a Vietnamese hotel into a randomized mission where Bond has to steal documents. The DLC includes Photo Mode, New Game +, and a new 00 difficulty level.

This update has been well-received, and while a sequel from IO Interactive is uncertain, some hope for it, especially for Hitman fans.
