While IO Interactive stays hard at work on 007 First Light, the team made an appearance at Summer Game Fest 2025 to reveal another James Bond tribute that will see Hitman World of Assassination players taking out Mads Mikkelsen’s character from Casino Royale.
A trailer for the collaboration level was revealed today, showing Agent 47 as he heads to a Paris casino to take out Le Chiffre, the iconic poker-playing villain from 2006’s Casino Royale. This video game version of the character is even played by Mikkelsen himself, who returned to reprise his role as this latest Elusive Target, which is available right now.
You can take on an iconic 007 face in Hitman: World of Assassination starting today. You can also see the new trailer below.
“Le Chiffre is a character I have always enjoyed – he’s calculating, cold, and ruthless,” Mikkelsen said in a statement. “Bringing him into the world of HITMAN makes for a thrilling collaboration. Players can expect mind games, high stakes, and twists that only this character could orchestrate. To succeed, they’ll need to play their hand wisely.”
Premuim content additions include The Banker Pack, which comes with a King of Cards Suit, the Casino Monarchique Chip, The Banker Rope, and The Banker Silenced Pistol. Hitman players excited for 007 First Light can prep for IOI’s James Bond video game by taking out this new Elusive Target. Those who play the mission between now and July 6, 2025, will also be gifted access to a special reward for the upcoming title.
The Le Chiffre Elusive Target looks like a great addition to Hitman, whether you’re only into World of Assassintation or if you’re a die-hard Casino Royale fan. For more reveals, be sure to read up on everything else shown during Summer Game Fest 2025.
