Revision 2

Mauritania is the location of Chapters 4 (The Past Never Dies) and 5 (Beyond the Grave) in 007 First Light. The two chapters together form the campaign's pivot into the Webb family conspiracy investigation. Mauritania includes an auction venue, a tactical infiltration site, an ambush escape, and a boss fight.

Chapters Set in Mauritania

Story Context

The Mauritania chapters take Bond into the Webb family's operational sphere via Aleph, a pirate-run black-market hub ruled by the warlord Bawma, the self-styled King of Aleph. Bond raises an auction fee and deals with the local fixer Barkhad Ali to bid on a stolen drone. The auction sequence in Chapter 4 surfaces antagonist faction members; the ambush and boss fight in Chapter 5 confirm the scope of the threat. Charlotte Roth (DGSE) is a co-investigator on the Mauritania chapters.

The Mauritania mission segment holds 12 collectibles, the joint-highest single-chapter total in the campaign. Full lists are in the Collectibles articles.

Year One Roadmap

IO Interactive's Year One content roadmap, revealed in June 2026, returns Bond to Aleph. An announced post-launch story mission, "Bawma Will Return," sees Bawma, the King of Aleph, request MI6's help, and a Tactical Simulation Mode update adds off-road driving challenges in Aleph's black market. No release dates have been announced and plans may change.
