Last week, IO Interactive had teased the first Elusive Target for their upcoming Hitman 2. For Hitman 2, Elusive Target missions are timed weekly challenges, where players must assassinate a target to unlock exclusive content. For the first Elusive Target, people had suspected that it was Sean Bean.

Lo and behold, they were right. Bean will take on the role of Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin. Nicknamed “The Undying”, Faba has a rep for faking his own death, which has resulted in him having a large bounty placed on him. For the first Elusive Target mission, appropriately named “The Undying”, players must stop Mark Faba before he can complete a contract at the Global Innovation Race event in Miami.
In addition to the new announcement trailer found below, players are also asked to vote on three different items referenced in the trailer to unlock an exclusive weapon later in the game. You can head here to vote on it.
The first Elusive Target mission is scheduled to release on 20th November, one week after Hitman 2 launches on November 13th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
