DLC & Season Pass
No story-based DLC or Season Pass has been announced for 007 First Light. IO Interactive has stated that post-launch support will focus on Tactical Simulation (TacSim) content — new challenges and remixed level content delivered through free updates.
The Valhalla Protocol Tease
After completing the main campaign, an in-game advertisement teases a future TacSim mission called "The Valhalla Protocol." Based on the teaser, this mission appears to feature the Aston Martin Valhalla supercar briefly seen during the story, potentially as a vehicle-focused level involving driving, combat, and destruction.
Deluxe Edition Contents
The Deluxe Edition Upgrade (Steam: App 3986520) adds cosmetic items only: 4 outfits (Day of the Dead, Desert Explorer, Silent Anchor, Gentleman Operator), 4 gadget skins (Gleaming Lighter, Earphones, Phone, Pen), and 1 weapon skin (Agent's Mark). No gameplay content is locked behind the Deluxe Edition.
