Hitman World of Assassination’s latest Elusive Target mission, The Infiltrator, launches on September 25 and features Martial Arts and Hollywood legend Bruce Lee, delivering a fresh challenge as he joins forces with Agent 47. Unlike any other Elusive Target, legendary martial artist Bruce Lee is not a target for Agent 47, but a key ally working side by side with him in his latest mission that tests players’ stealth and strategy in entirely new ways.
Bruce Lee stars as Agent Lee, an operative aiming to infiltrate the Concord Union, a powerful criminal syndicate based in Hong Kong. Set in the dazzling arena of the Himmapan Hotel in Bangkok, the syndicate is hosting a secretive international martial arts tournament. For this occasion, Agent Lee is back in action and invited to compete.
His mission is to win the tournament and uncover the identity of the Concord Union’s supreme leader. Though Lee’s combat prowess is unmatched, the tournament is rumoured to be riddled with sabotage. Different from typical Hitman missions, players will operate from the shadows to protect Agent Lee, identifying and neutralizing threats targeting him. While Agent 47 is usually the predator, in this mission he takes on the role of an unseen guardian, ensuring Lee survives the fierce opponents and the tournament’s own dangerous rules.
The Infiltrator mission introduces a variety of exciting new gameplay features. Diverging from traditional Hitman gameplay focused on assassination, this mission requires Agent 47 to subtly intervene and protect Agent Lee from sabotage while remaining unseen. Dynamic protection mechanics require perfect timing and precision. Combat Observation and Manipulation allow players to influence matches directly by changing the order of the matches or indirectly by distracting characters, tampering with equipment, or creating environmental hazards while staying hidden. Keeping an eye on Agent Lee is crucial and players must be aware that Lee is not invincible. Agent 47 has to read the situation carefully, while searching for tools to even the odds. It’s a delicate balance of protection, patience, and stealth.
For longtime Hitman fans, this mission offers a fresh and intense challenge. Success isn’t measured by the number of kills but by keeping Agent Lee unharmed while completing your mission without blowing your cover. Watch closely, protect carefully, and intervene only when necessary. This mission is more than a test of assassination skills — it’s the ultimate stealth protection mission. Even the world’s deadliest hitman, Agent 47, will need every ounce of cunning and precision to survive this tournament.
IO Interactive built this new mission with thoughtful attention to the legacy of Bruce Lee, drawing inspiration from his iconic filmography. Eagle-eyed fans will recognize Agent Lee’s appearance in the game pays homage to Lee’s iconic yellow suit from “Game of Death”, the legendary actor’s final and unfinished film. The studio worked diligently to ensure that Lee’s enduring legacy is honored with respect, care and admiration throughout this new mission.
