Copenhagen, Denmark, June 27th, 2025 – IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind, among others, the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise, shares today an update on how players have been faring against the brand-new Elusive Target featuring the likeness and voiceover work of Mads Mikkelsen as the fan-favourite villain from the 2006 film ‘Casino Royale’. With only ten days to go, it is now or never to take your seat at the poker table. The Banker Elusive Target is available globally on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch™*, and the newly launched Nintendo Switch™2*, until Monday, July 6th.
Le Chiffre has immediately become a fan favourite Elusive Target for players with almost 2M active players tuning into HITMAN World of Assassination across the last 30 days. This particular Elusive Target has proven to be a challenge, with 46% of the players succeeding in their mission. His trickery at the poker table has surprised many, but 22% of players managed to keep their calm and find the antidote after being poisoned. 55% of players chose to go for a poker game for the ages against Le Chiffre as part of their assignment, while the rest chose the safer approach with a game of roulette. Players once again unleashed their creativity during this mission, with the Lethal Poison Vial, Sieger 300 Ghost, and the ICA19 among the most-used weapons to take out their target. There are almost as many playstyles in HITMAN as there are players, as attests the disparity between the quickest time to finish the mission, with 27 seconds needed for the fastest player, compared to 167 minutes for the longest completion time.
Together with The Banker Elusive Target, IO Interactive released The Banker Pack, a DLC that includes: The Monarchique, which grants permanent access to the Banker through the Elusive Target Arcade mode, a set of cosmetics for the Freelancer Safehouse, a new suit, as well as three items. The Season of the High-Stakes is also running, with new content coming to the game in the upcoming weeks, such as Challenges, Curated Contracts Packs, and new Twitch Drops to unlock. Fans can already look forward to two additional Elusive Targets this year, with more details to be shared later.
Finally, there is still time to unlock an exclusive suit for 007 First Light, in celebration of the game’s reveal. Play The Banker Elusive Target and sign up for an IOI account to receive an exclusive suit to redeem for 007 First Light. (The Casino Suit will be visible on the players’ IOI Account profile at a later stage). 007 First Light is available to wishlist on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store, and Amazon.com pages.
