Omnihanded Entertainmet News | 007 First Light Pricing Leaks, Including $300 Edition

Ahead of the PlayStation State of Play event today that focuses on 007 First Light, people have spotted listings on Amazon that reveal the game’s pricing structure, including a $300 collector’s edition.

To begin with, billbil-kun said the Amazon listings show that the standard edition of the IO Interactive-developed game could be $70. Price points are going up, but it appears 007 First Light is sticking with the $70 price that’s been in place for years for AAA games.

If you want to spend more on the new James Bond game from the makers of Hitman, you’ll apparently be able to. Another Amazon listing reveals a collector’s edition that costs $300. There is no word on what may be in the collector’s edition to justify the price tag, but the description says the package weighs six pounds. Listings for the $300 edition were discovered for all platforms except Nintendo Switch 2.

Industry experts believe people are ready and willing to pay $80 or more for new games, and that it’s just a matter of time before higher price points for games become normalized. For now, though, many companies are sticking with $70 for new games (and also offering more expensive premium editions and selling lots of DLC and microtransactions at the same time).

Mario Kart World was the first major game to jump up to $80, though it is also available within a $500 Switch 2 bundle. Microsoft planned to charge $80 for games this year, beginning with The Outer Worlds 2, but later scuttled those plans. For its part, EA has said it has no plans to charge $80 for games, while Rockstar owner Take-Two responded to a question about GTA 6’s price, but didn’t confirm anything.

These listings were first spotted by billbil-kun

007 First Light is set for release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. There have been numerous James Bond video games over the years, of course–including the iconic GoldenEye 007–but 007 First Light is the first to tell an origin story for the world-famous character.

You’ll play as James Bond when he’s 26 years old and in the Royal Navy, prior to becoming the British superspy everyone knows today. He gets recruited for MI6 and eventually its elite 00 section.

The State of Play today, September 3, will showcase 30 minutes of gameplay, showing off Bond taking on his first mission. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

How to Unlock End to Dumbest Slumber

In order to tackle the Soundest of Sleepers prophecy in Hades 2, you have to complete three incantations. To access them, you first need to speak to Hypnos whenever you’re in the Crossroads. You need to gift him two bottles of Nectar and collect at least one Poppy, which is obtained by gathering Poppy Seeds and planting them in your garden at the Crossroads. The main NPC that you need to speak to is Medea in Ephyra, which is the first region when you’re attempting a surface run.

Medea is your go-to NPC for this questline.

Completing these steps will unlock the End to Deepest Slumber incantation, which can be accessed from the cauldron. You’ll need one Molly, two Mandrake, and three Poppy flowers to complete it. Once that’s done, you’ll gain a Dream Vapor. Go ahead and gift it to Hypnos, and this will start a dream sequence.

During early access, the Olympic Update added the End to Dearest Slumber incantation. It has the same requirements as the previous one (albeit with an additional Mandrake), and you’ll once again enter Hypnos’ dream sequence. Sadly, this won’t be enough to wake him up, as there’s a third and final incantation.

As with everything in Hades 2, it might take you a few runs to actually see progress with conversations. Make sure to always be speaking to Medea when she’s available in Ephyra, and she’ll eventually unlock the incantations for you. Also, we have a guide covering all material sources in Hades 2 in case you need some help in that regard.

How to Get Soot for the End to Dumbest Slumber Incantation

Once you’ve completed both End to Deepest Slumber and End to Dearest Slumber, you’ll gain access to End to Dumbest Slumber. This requires two Poppy flowers, one Shaderot, and one Soot. The problem is that there’s no indication of where to find Soot.

In short, if you’re wondering how to get Soot in Hades 2, you first need to beat the main story. Without spoiling too much, you must have seen the game’s credits once. Then, you have to do a couple of underworld runs and, when you’re rummaging through the last region before the final boss, make sure to visit the NPC room when it becomes available. It took me three runs until the room appeared, but this may differ on your end. Then, gift at least one Nectar bottle to said NPC.

You won’t be able to get your hands on Soot until you hit the game’s credits.

After speaking to said NPC, they will (quite unceremoniously) give you Soot, as well as a Keepsake. Once you’re back at the Crossroads, go ahead and tackle the incantation. All that is left to do is to gift Hypnos a Dream Vapor and watch another dream sequence. This will conclude the End to Dumbest Slumber incantation, which in turn will finally wake up Hypnos in Hades 2.

Now, go ahead and claim your reward from the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. You’ll receive two Nightmares for your trouble, which is a rare material. If you’re wondering what to use it for, we have an extensive guides hub to answer all of your Hades 2 questions.
