Bean will be playing Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin. Faba, A.K.A The Undying, has a reputation as a master of faking his own death. The shady assassin is introduced in a live action trailer but we aren't the only ones watching...

One of the items referenced in the trailer will be made available to players later in the game. You can cast your vote on which weapon you'd like to see make it into the game at the official website.

"I'm thrilled to be a part of the upcoming HITMAN 2 video game,” said Bean.

“It’s always exciting to take on a new role, and I look forward to seeing my character in action when the Elusive Target mission launches.”

“We are very proud to partner with the talented Sean Bean on the first Elusive Target mission in HITMAN 2,” said Hakan Abrak, Studio Head at IO Interactive.

“Elusive Targets have become a distinguishing trait in HITMAN games as part of the constant stream of free live content for all players to enjoy.

“This new mission starring Sean Bean is one of many updates, features, modes and franchise firsts coming to HITMAN 2, making the next chapter in our ever-expanding world of assassination a richer game for our passionate community and newcomers to the series.”

HITMAN 2's first Elusive Target mission goes live on 20 November.
