Superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas will be joining the cast of 007: First Light and to celebrate, has shared a ravey remix of the iconic James Bond theme.
007: First Light is due to launch in May and features an original origin story for James Bond. Patrick Gibson will be playing the secret agent while Lenny Kravitz will star as antagonist Bawma, The Pirate King.
The cast also features Priyanga Burford (M), Alastair Mackenzie (Q) and Kiera Lester (Miss Moneypenny) alongside a number of new characters including Noemie Nakia’s Miss Roth and Lennie James’ John Greenway, who’s described as Bond’s mentor.
Yesterday (March 31) developers IO Interactive announced DJ Dimitri Vegas will be joining the cast in an unannounced role. “As part of this standalone, re-imagined origin story for James Bond in video games, players will be able to cross paths with Dimitri Vegas’ character during the game’s globe-spanning mission,” explained a press release.
“I’ve been a fan of Bond for as long as I can remember, so stepping into the world of 007 First Light is a real honour,” added Vegas. “IO Interactive is creating something bold and cinematic, and I can’t wait for players to meet my character and experience the game for themselves.”
Vegas actually leaked the news during his set at electronic dance festival Tomorrowland Winter over the weekend. Taking to the stage in France’s Alpe d’Huez, he performed a ravey remix of the iconic James Bond theme which will appear in 007: First Light. Check out a snippet below:
