007 First Light gets free DLC that will finally let you drive James Bond’s Aston Martin properly
007: First Light is receiving free DLC that significantly enhances the game’s Aston Martin driving sequences. The original game, which launched in May, featured some memorable vehicle action scenes including a cargo plane fight and a spectacular dump truck sequence, but its car-focused moments fell short of delivering a complete James Bond experience.
The most notable improvement in the upcoming DLC targets the late-game Aston Martin Valhalla sequence, which also appears in the most recent Bond film, No Time to Die. The base game teased this iconic vehicle throughout its campaign but delivered a disappointingly brief driving section that didn’t showcase the car adequately. The upcoming free DLC aims to properly showcase the Valhalla with more engaging and substantial driving gameplay that players have been expecting.
IO Interactive’s decision to expand the Aston Martin content addresses a significant gap in the game’s overall vehicle gameplay experience. The enhancement brings the driving mechanics more in line with what fans expect from a James Bond title, where iconic vehicles should play a more prominent role in the action sequences.
