Dimitri Vegas Joins 007 First Light Cast, Expanding Celebrity Lineup for James Bond Game
007 First Light marks the first James Bond game in a considerable period, and developer IO Interactive is ensuring it makes a splash with a star-studded cast.
The game's launch is shaping up to be a major event, attracting significant talent. Months ago, rock legend Lenny Kravitz was confirmed for a crucial role. Not stopping there, IO Interactive has announced another high-profile addition from the world of music.
Joining the team is renowned DJ and producer Dimitri Vegas. Fans of Mortal Kombat 11 might recognize him from a free Sub-Zero skin that referenced the Belgian artist. Now, the musician is set to appear in the game himself.
The announcement was made via IO Interactive's official channels:
Dimitri Vegas enters the stage in #007FirstLight.
