Betrayed by the only people he trusts and hunted by the police, the beautifully bald and barcoded Agent 47 navigates a vast conspiracy in Hitman: Absolution, the latest adventure for IO Interactive’s killer-for-hire.
David Bateson, the voice of 47 in the Hitman series, says he’s been asked to remove details on his website regarding his work on Hitman 5. But the actor confirms a sequel is coming, and it will be “gob smacking.”
Kotakuite CyK sent in this shot of his amazingly well done Agent 47 custom figure. According to Cyk, Agent 47 stands 12″ tall and has multiple points of articulation. The head is incredibly well sculpted and quite impressive. He comes with two silverballers, a custom made Walther WA2000 sniper rifle and an “accurate” barcode on the back of his head. And to make things extra detailed, Cyk also includes a tiny lockable briefcase and four one sixth scale spent 7.62mm shell casings. If you’d like Agent 47 and all his little accouterments, you can bid for him on eBay.
Here for your enjoyment is a scene from the upcoming Hitman flick, starring Deadwood‘s Timothy Oliphant.
Going by this clip, Agent 47 does a hell of a lot of jumping. It’s amazing his legs still work. Oh, and look out for the less-than-subtle shot of the Hitman game running on a TV in the background. I thought the reference was obvious enough, but then they go ahead and focus on it. Nods and winks to the Eidos title, sure, but you don’t need to punch us in the face with them.
