Next ET targets?

I wonder if they’ll all be 007 related, or whether the Fall/Autumn and Winter Elusive Targets will not be related whatsoever? :thinking:

I read somewhere the last one looks like Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman.

Kind of hoping for a halloween whittleton creek now

They cut a mission in Sapienza called Methlab. It could be perfect with a celebrity target as Bryan Cranston. The character had also the same name but in italian language: Gualtiero Bianchi. They could even add Bob Odenkirk as Sal Goodman (in italian is Salvatore Bravuomo, that is a character already present in the game).

Since they’ve gone back to both H2 and now H1 with these CelebETs, what we need, IOI, is ETs in Mumbai, New York, Haven, and Ambrose Island, for goodness sake.

Is the second one (fall) Matt smith? Similar profile, has also played a villain recently. So going off of that.

You expected any different? :rofl:

I don’t know how you guys expect to guess a person based on a random side profile, but best of luck.

I’m stunned someone managed to guess Jean Claude correctly, though I feel like that was more of a lucky wishful guess

The comparison :eyes::eyes:

That’d be very cool and it has sense to be in this game

The winter ET kinda looks like a young Arnold

I have the same thought

That’s a good thought, i also see that IOI tends to collab with european Celebrities so this could be one of them

Very interesting indeed :eyes:

This whole silhouette guessing reminds me of when grandparents look at a newborn baby and say it looks exactly like his/her father/mother (depending on whose parents they are).

If the next two end up being bond crossovers, I think it might be fun to try and get Sean Bean back in the saddle to play 006 from GoldenEye, either as a contract from MI6 or maybe recontextualizing him as a rogue ICA agent. Bonus points if he was personally betrayed by 47 in the past and is seeking some revenge.

As for the second, I would vote for Javier Bardem to reprise his role as Raoul Silva from Skyfall. Hitman already has so many references to that movie in the game already, with the ICA orientation interrogation cutscenes and the Wrath Escalation basically just being Skyfall’s final act in video game format. It feels like a neat way to for the series to come full circle.

Bonus points if he kills Diana (DO NOT)

My guess: Raoul Silva in either Ambrose or Sgail to mimick his base in the film, or maybe have him in Dartmoor to reference the ending. I would then imagine Blofeld being the final target of the year, either being in Hokkaido, to reference YOLT/Spectre, or perhaps Sapienza since that can easily be turned into a more sophisticated underground lair

Ooh, I could get my wish of a Christoph Walz ET after all!

I came up with an idea last night: the Blofeld ET should have two targets - Blofeld and Jaws

Jaws would be great because he could act as a bodyguard and you wouldn’t need to get voice acting done for him since Jaws only spoke once in the two films he was in. Jaws could be a melee-only guard with entreme resistance to bullets and explosions, they could still kill him but he has essentially a even tougher version of the Carpathian body armor. What he does is when alerted or in combat he runs up to 47 and lifts him into the air which starts a struggle QTE. Essentially instead of the two button CQC you have to mush the subdue prompt and then press the snap neck button to break out of it. This can then put Jaws into the flashbang state for a few seconds to allow you to get in a kill for him. Maybe this is the only way to make him weak enough for a garrote or melee kill. I’d imagine if you threw anything at him it’d plonk off his head unharmed

The easiest way to kill him is I’d imagine if this is set in Sapienza you could have a magnet, which uses the same controls as the Berlin crane. Move it over Jaws, it picks him up, then you can drop him into the water for an easy and immediate kill

That way the ET could give you Blofeld’s outfit, then the DLC gives you Jaws’

Jaws’ actor is dead. I don’t think it would work

I think too many people are assuming they decided to make three ETs in a row Bond characters just because they did one Bond crossover…

You’d hope IO has a bit more variety than that and not pigeon-holing themselves for what is a Hitman game not a Bond game, and what are the chances they’ve managed to secure multiple actors of memorable characters from the franchise all in the same year?

I’m both hoping and assuming the last two will not be Bond characters.


Hopefully we’re no more than 2 months away from the next one being released, given the final one is Winter but 2025 (only one month left falls in northern Winter in 2025: December). So first one was released first month of Summer (June), last one is being released first month of Winter (December, pending a delay), would make sense next one is releasing first month of Autumn (September)

Depends on if his estate is okay with them using his license. Tarkin has appeared in movies and games for years
