HITMAN World of Assassination welcomes back Sean Bean as fan favorite target

IO Interactive announces the return of a cherished Elusive Target mission, with The Undying, featuring two-time BAFTA winner Sean Bean. The world-famous actor is set to reprise his role as Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin with the annoying habit of faking his own death. Players can take their chance at completing their mission starting on the 22nd of March 2024 and for a duration of four weeks. The Undying will be released globally on Switch.

Introduced as the first Elusive Target of HITMAN 2, Sean Bean aka Mark Faba became an instant favorite in the HITMAN community, with many requests to see him appear out of the shadows once more. Players will be able to go after the infamous Undying, with the mission set in the Miami map. The task at hand is to stop Mark Faba before he can complete a contract at the Global Innovation Race event.

The mission will be available for newcomers to HITMAN in a free-to-play Starter Pack, with the possibility of replaying the mission as many times as they wish, for the mission’s duration. HITMAN World of Assassination players can access the Undying for free as the original Elusive target released in HITMAN 2 and try to unlock the reward that comes with the completion of the challenge. The Undying Elusive Target will be available for approximately four weeks from March 22nd. Hitman World of Assassination players can get a permanent access to the Undying through the DLC Pack, unlocking Mark Faba as part of the Elusive target Arcade.
