How Many Missions Are in 007 First Light?
The two types of 007 First Light missions
- Large sandbox operations, Hitman-style
- Multiple routes + optional challenges
- Hidden collectibles tucked into the map
- Where the stealth-and-action gameplay lives
- Short cinematic story bridges
- Tighter, more linear — a few minutes each
- Move the plot between operations
- No challenge objectives
The most useful answer is the 9 main missions— that’s where the actual stealth-and-action gameplay lives.
Guides throw around “17 missions” and “18 chapters” — and both are sort of right. The in-game chapter select in 007 First Light lists 17 entries: 9 main missions — the big, fully-playable operations, each carrying its own set of optional challenges and hidden collectibles — and 8 interludes, the shorter cinematic bridges that move the story between those operations. When people ask how many 007 First Light missions there are, the most useful answer is the 9 main missions, because that is where the actual stealth-and-action gameplay lives. Counting the interludes as well gives you the full 17-entry chapter list.
The split matters because the two kinds of entry play very differently. The main missions in 007 First Light are large sandbox levels in the Hitman tradition — multiple routes, optional objectives, and collectibles tucked into the environment — while the interludes are tighter, more linear story beats that you move through in a few minutes. If you are pacing a playthrough or chasing 100% completion, treat the 9 main missions as the real workload and the 8 interludes as connective tissue. Across community sources the main story runs about ~20 hours, with the full collectible hunt pushing total time well beyond that.

These are the operations that bookend the campaign — from the Iceland prologue that opens the file to the final defence of MI6 in London — and the 8 interludes slot in between them to keep the narrative moving. We list every one of the 17 entries, main missions and interludes together, in the full 007 First Light missions list further down this page, complete with locations and an interactive completion tracker so you can mark off each mission as you clear it.
A few guides count 18 missions — they split the Mauritania section into a separate “Beyond the Grave” chapter. The audit resolves this as an alternate chapter-grouping convention, not an extra mission, so we list the 17 chapter-select entries rather than guessing at an 18th. See the full chapter breakdown.
All 17 007 First Light Missions in Order
This is the complete list of all 17 007 First Light missions, in story order. The sequence — 9 main missions interleaved with 8 interludes — is confirmed across two independent community guides, which is why we publish the order as a reliable spine for your playthrough even though IO Interactive has not released an official mission breakdown. Each row shows the mission name, whether it is a main mission or an interlude, its location, the number of optional challenges (main missions only), and the collectible count.
Where the data is solid, you get a clean number. Where community sources disagree — most often on per-mission collectibles — we deliberately redact the figure and show the source range instead of inventing a single value. Only 7 of the 17 missions have agreed collectible counts, so treat any redacted row as “unsettled” rather than missing. Mission names, types, and broad locations are the most reliable fields; fine sub-locations and a few challenge totals are flagged where they rest on a single source.

Mission Notes
These are short, spoiler-light notes on individual 007 First Light missions where we have a confirmed detail worth flagging — a bookend mission, an unlock tied to challenges, or a location that anchors the story. We deliberately keep this section thin: rather than invent a blurb for every mission, we only publish notes that are sourced, so the rest of the mission list stays clean and honest. Use the full list above for locations, challenges, and collectibles on the remaining missions and interludes.
