Season of The Royal Ace - Roadmap late April/May 2026

Bruce Lee was a Celebrity Elusive Target but was not actually targeted…They would do something like that where 47 was collaborating on a mission with Bond, not against him.

All they’d have to do would be to make it Daniel Craig’s Bond. There’s already precedent, and it would explain Le Chiffre.

(007 spoiler)

Since Bawma makes it through First Light alive and I can imagine he wont appear again, I can totally see him being an ET some time later when everyone played that game at that point.
The client could be his sister who, after being disclosed by the MI6, does not want him to be anywhere near her.

I disagree. I think Bawma might make a return at some point. In Tacsim, some NPCs mention that Greenway left out the part where his sister is confirmed dead. Left Bawma with hope and a reason to keep them alive

If this is being advertised in advance expect a pretty substantial amount of information.

  • Information on upcoming content.

007: First Light -

  • Talking about the success of the game, and what’s to come.

007: First Light -

  • Switch 2 Release information

The Unlikely:

  • Freelancer Update information
  • anything and everything can requested
  • Disruptor rework

007: First Light -

  • Sequel Announcement

We might also get something on the Classic Hitman games being ported aswell

I know what this means in context, but due to the job I have done for the last 25 years I cannot help but read COOP as “Continuity of Operations Plan”. Reason number 5239 why I don’t use acronyms or initialisms…

Surely a Bond tie-in will be on the cards? Great opportunity for more cross-promotion.

Would be nice for a little news on this. Though I might tip this into the “Unlikely” category myself, based on Arti’s most recent comments on co-op still being in early stages.

Tbh, if Amazon are happy with what they’ve seen so far (and it looks like they have good reasons to be confident) a swift green-light of a sequel is not that unplausible. I guess whether it would be announced publicly this early is another matter!

Personally I always think of 47 in a small building filled with chickens and hens :x

I’ll be majorly disappointed if they don’t add any 007 themed unlockables!

Do you expect the new ET to release right after it’s announced or maybe month later ?

IOI have developed a habit of announcing a new Celebrity Elusive Target the day it goes live. There have been several times where they’ve ended the announcement stream with the phrase “and it’s live right now!”. I don’t anticipate we’ll have to wait very long at all.

Speaking of which!

This is time for the obligatory: the Elusive Target playlist of the Hitman youtube channel, and the WoA playlist on the IO Interactive channel, have been updated this week.

The videos are still private, but here is a link to it.
