Chase & Status and Dimitri Vegas join ‘007: First Light’ video game cast

Chase & Status and Dimitri Vegas have both been confirmed as in-game cameos in the upcoming James Bond video game ‘007: First Light‘. Notably, the project from IO Interactive marks a new origin story for Bond, with players stepping into his shoes to earn 00 status.

The duo’s appearance lands inside a packed club sequence. Meanwhile, Chase & Status will feature DJing in one of the in-game scenes. Their music powers a sound system as Bond navigates lights, crowds and the venue’s full atmosphere. In turn, the cameo adds a distinct rave-energy edge to the action.

Dimitri Vegas takes the cameo a step further. Crucially, players can interact directly with the Belgian producer’s character within the game. Furthermore, Dimitri Vegas has produced an exclusive James Bond remix for his role in ‘007: First Light’.

The track sits as a ravey reinterpretation of the iconic Bond theme. Equally, it marks one of the more unexpected official Bond music collaborations in recent years. The remix lands as part of the in-game scene that ties to his character.

‘007: First Light’ itself comes from IO Interactive, the studio behind the Hitman series. Still, the new project takes a different angle. It builds a Bond origin story that gives players the chance to earn the 00 status from scratch. The game lands May 27 across Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

The title sequence already has its own music moment. Moreover, Lana Del Rey contributed the official title song, released across streaming platforms ahead of the game’s launch.

The Chase & Status and Dimitri Vegas inclusions reflect a wider trend. In short, video games continue to function as one of the most direct routes for electronic artists to reach new global audiences. Recent in-game music moments from Travis Scott, Marshmello and others have already shown the model.

Finally, the Bond franchise leans into electronic music in a way the film series rarely has, with the Chase & Status and Dimitri Vegas cameos extending that crossover into interactive territory.
