Only the Casino Suit is a cross-promotion skin between Hitman and First Light,
the golden gun and On Duty outfit are only for First Light 
Less interested itās, gotcha.
Banker Suit is already in the game.
Gilded Wraith
and
On Duty.
Probably never, but Iām certain we will get more Bond unlocks in HITMAN as we get closer to release. Either for purchasing New Light and or future events.
General belief is free is for me. So Iāll be keeping tabs on cross promotions and if specific brands will to tie-ins.
āGood, because I think youāre a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you.ā

My idea is that itās not a āreliableā method of getting that suit, because itās a temporary one (and not guaranteed) or requires additional spendings (if the DLC wonāt be taken down).
Because this Elusive Target is foremost Elusive and could not come back at all, and the DLC could be withdrawn from sale for whatever reason
I would bet my Casino Suit, that it will come back around the release of First Light next year. Unless something happens, that ācancelsā it like McGregor and Busy.
And I might be wrong, but donāt you get the Suit if you just play the ET and donāt have to finish it? At least, it only says āplayā in the description. Since the ET is completely free and can be played within the Free Starter Pack, it isnāt that hard to get then. But I didnāt test it, so maybe you have to kill him to get the suit.

Indeed it is, where the Dame Judi Dench laid down the law on Bond, and up to that point being the only woman to have that be the only kind of thing she ever laid with him.

Aaaactually, that would be The Living Daylights

I canāt believe it. It started with First Light and now reality itself has gone woke as well.

Some interesting information in this new interview with Christian Elverdam:
Itās definitely not going to be the WOA reskin that some people are expecting. While this comparison with Absolution might be a little worrisome at first glance, I have faith that IO have an amazing game on their hand.

Level-design-wise I think an Absolution-like structure would be highly appropriate for a Bond game, in a way that was never really going to work for Hitman - no problems with this whatsoever for 007 First Light. Of course, the really big problem with Absolution was the repellant story/tone/characters, and it should be a very easy win not to write something as teeth-gindingly terrible as Absolution was in that regard.

Makes sense. Somehow Bond has to get to car chases and other āeventsā and that would be pretty hard to accomplish with a completely open approach combined with a fixed story to follow. It would feel to guided, if you have an open terrain but always have to get to that one point to trigger the story to continue.
Hitman has the benefit, that it doesnāt need that. Go in, finish the mission, go out anyway you want. With the exception of Mendoza, where you have to get to Diana at the end to continue the story. And Bond would be all like that than, I think, and therefore it would feel forced somehow.
If they mix it up like Absolution with some open terrains and some straight forward routes, and the mix is good, Iām still interested.
Fortunate for us, the short time period, where this Grindhouse/Trash/Exploitation-Theme was the big hit (and it never even was) is long gone. So, even if it wasnāt Bond but something else, I wouldnāt expect something as terrible as the āWorld of Absolutionā in any game today.

Iām still really hoping for one level where Bond must take out bad guy X and bad guy X is staying at a hotel or heās at a mansion party. Itāll be a hitman sandbox with the only requirement being the player doesnāt blow their cover. That wonāt mean what we call SA, just that anyone who sees you do anything too wrong must also be eliminated. SA would be the perfect score or goal or whatever. I guess minor tresspass would have to be allowed so long as you follow the guard back to wherever they take you. It would be SO FUN!

Great article.

That is a very good point lol
Iām just tentatively hoping for something non-embarrassing. Let me put it this way, I hope the big twist wonāt be that Young Bond has amnesia about killing Mās parents - but wait, thereās actually an antidote to his memory loss.
What gives me a bit of faith is that in this interview with the Franchise Director, he says that they have weekly meetings with MGM - maybe a bit of handholding for IO will turn out to be a good thing.

IĀ“m hoping thereĀ“s more than one such level. The social-stealth aspect of Hitman (minus all the disguises) is part of the Bond aura just as much as the shootouts and car/vehicular chases, and it would be a shame not to spice up the gameplay a few times with a Hitman-style sandbox when itĀ“s IOĀ“s forte.
