While "Project 007" isn't slated for release until next year, developer IO Interactive has dropped an unexpected surprise, offering players an early taste of the James Bond universe. During this year's Summer Game Fest, the studio unceremoniously launched a crossover mission between the "Hitman" series' "Hitman World of Assassination" and "007," bringing a familiar character to the forefront.
This limited-time "Elusive Target" mission features the iconic villain Le Chiffre from "Casino Royale" as the primary target. Adding to the excitement, actor Mads Mikkelsen will reprise his role, lending his voice to the character once again for an immersive experience.
Players who successfully complete the assassination during the mission period will not only enjoy a high-stakes stealth challenge but also unlock exclusive rewards for the upcoming "Project 007" game. This crossover event is available now through July 6, 2025, and is completely free to participate in.
