Sean Bean Joins Hitman 2 as the Game’s First Elusive Target

Sean Bean is a brilliant actor who is known for his roles in Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. However, he is probably best known as that guy who dies in most of his movies. It looks like his new role in Hitman 2 won’t be any different.

The English actor is set to be the first elusive target for Hitman 2. You can see the full trailer down below:

Bean will play Mark Faba, an assassin who has become an expert at faking his own death (of course he is). Faba obviously can hold his own combat wise and seems very aware of the attempts at his life. It will be difficult for Agent 47 to complete this contract.

As I noted above, Faba will be the game’s first elusive target. Elusive targets are available for a limited time and you only get one chance to kill them. So, there is a chance that Bean may survive Hitman 2 after all.

Hitman 2 will take you around the world and will come with some new features like Sniper Assassin Mode and Co-op. Here is a quick synopsis for the game (courtesy of comicbook.com):

“Travel the globe and track your targets across exotic sandbox locations in Hitman 2. From sun-drenched streets to dark and dangerous rainforests, nowhere is safe from the world’s most creative assassin, Agent 47. Prepare to experience the ultimate spy thriller story; your mission is to eliminate the elusive Shadow Client and unravel his militia, but when 47 learns his target’s true identity and the truth about his past, it changes everything.”

Hitman 2 will release November 13th on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The Sean Bean elusive target mission, titled “The Undying”, will release November 20th.
