Hitman World of Assassination Gets Mads Mikkelsen’s Casino Royale Character as a New Target

In the latest part of IO Interactive’s marketing push for 007 First Light, the studio invited actor Mads Mikkelsen on the Summer Games Fest stage to unveil a new Elusive Target for Hitman World of Assassination. The Elusive Target will see Mikkelsen reprising his role as the antagonist from 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale, Le Chiffre. Check out the trailer below.

The trailer is structured as a briefing for Agent 47, with his handler explaining his target – the mysterious Shadow Banker known as Le Chiffre. The elusive target is available to take down as a free update in the game on PC and consoles. While the level itself seems quite new, it appears to be based on the Paris level from Hitman.

Along with Le Chiffre, Hitman World of Assassination is also getting more premium content in the form of the Banker Pack, which comes with a host of new items, including a new silenced pistol and suit. Completing the Le Chiffre mission will reward players with items for the upcoming 007 First Light.
