Lenny Kravitz returns in new 007 First Light DLC

musicJun 5, 2026944

IO Interactive announced a 007 First Light story DLC that brings back Lenny Kravitz as Bawma, sending Bond to Mauritania after the King of Aleph personally requests MI6's help. The add-on centers on Bawma's personal storyline and delivers a standalone mission set in Mauritania that expands First Light's narrative beyond the base campaign. Kravitz's return adds a high-profile cast element and gives players new single player content that continues Bawma's arc.

oh this explains why the lenny kravitz arc doesn't actually connect to the main plot of First Light at all

As much as I liked 007 First Light, Lenny Kravitz was *exactly* as terrible a voice actor as you’d expect him to be, and it’s a bit of a bummer to see that game having to double down on a character who sounds like he was voiced as a lark by, like, the studio janitor.

Everything about the character was great except the speaking.

It’s real weird that they intro him with a bio about having been a child soldier in Mauritania and then the dude sounds like he grew up in LA.

Thank God we're getting more Lenny Kravitz, famously the best bit of First Light.
