007 First Light is a standalone original story that will allow players to complete missions their own way, whether that is by using stealth, direct action, or a combination of the two. Through using several gameplay pillars, including Spycraft, Instinct, Gadgets, and Combat, players will be able to tackle each mission by using Bond’s skills, charm and intelligence. Spycraft involves stealth, info gathering and infiltration. Instinct uses Bond’s ability to adapt, bluff and deceive. Gadgets come from Q Branch and provide a bit more tactical flexibility. Finally, Combat covers gunplay, melee fighting, and interaction with the environment.
