New TacSim Content

Tactical Simulation Mode will receive a range of new content throughout the year, introducing gameplay challenges that test players’ skill and resourcefulness. Players will return to Kensington in The Workshop and to Slovakia’s mountain slopes in the Aston Martin Valhalla, with more TacSim updates arriving regularly over the coming months.

Another update will transport players back to Aleph’s dangerous black market in Mauritania, where players can prove their driving skills in off-road encounters. Players will also head back to The Pearl, Vietnam's luxury resort, where a new enemy has taken control of the facility, with Bond tasked to take him down. Finally, new intelligence suggests there may be more lurking beneath the surface than initially believed within Webb Industries. MI6 has uncovered an unknown piece of technology, leading Bond to investigate the trail of what may become one of Bond's deadliest opponents yet.
