However, this is a trend that IOI will hopefully manage to buck with its own inclusion to the James Bond franchise, which is currently only known as Project 007. While the film adaptations of Ian Fleming’s famous literacy spy have been going strong for over 50 years - and constantly pull in large viewing numbers no matter how far-fetched a plot may be - the games have often struggled.
James Bond games have been notoriously hard to get right. And it would seem that IOI is going to be on familiar ground with Bond as, other than a knack for killing, a penchant for travel, and an exemplary collection of suits, there is something unexpected that these two agents also have in common. After that, IOI would be turning its attention onto another of culture’s most prolific agents: Agent James Bond, 007. It was a fitting finale for the barcoded assassin, and during the production of Hitman 3, it was announced that developer IO Interactive would be giving Agent 47 a break after its release. Throughout the course of six missions, fans took Agent 47 across the globe visiting vineyards and nightclubs before culminating his story in the Carpathian Mountains. Check it out below.The latest trilogy of games in the Hitman series concluded earlier this year with Hitman 3. 8, and the trailer debuted this summer at E3. The franchise even includes few Android and iPhone app games. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Blood Money, and Hitman: Absolution (the most recent, in 2012) all followed. The first edition, titled Hitman: Codename 47, was released in 2000 and guides players through a mission to eliminate four crime bosses. ( See: American Ultra.) Hitman: Agent 47 is actually based on a long-running video game series. Though, people do seem to have a cultural fascination with them lately. As far as I know, there is no government agency engineering flawless fighting machines. It is not, unless you subscribe to a conspiracy theory newsletter or something. So, is Hitman: Agent 47 based on a true story? Your late summer cars-and-guns thrill ride has arrived, and Agent 47 is driving. In order to prevent an evil entity from unlocking the secret to his skills and creating its own army of 47s, the trained killer has to learn as much about his own origins as he can. Hitman: Agent 47 stars Rupert Friend ( Homeland, Pride & Prejudice) as a genetically-perfected assassin without a name. While blogs battle it out over who is likely to be the next 007 (Team Idris Elba!), another numbered mystery man is making his presence known.
