In a surprising crossover event at the Summer Game Fest, Mads Mikkelsen has returned to embody his infamous character, LeChiffre, from Casino Royale, becoming the next elusive target in the Hitman franchise, available for players to eliminate now.

The LeChiffre contract takes place in a revamped casino setting reminiscent of the Paris map from Hitman 2016. According to Mikkelsen, participating in this unique collaboration has been an honor, despite the lethal implications of his role—facing off against Agent 47’s Silverballers.

As a part of the mission, special poker mechanics have been incorporated to enhance the gameplay experience. Mikkelsen expressed his excitement about revisiting a character that holds a special place in his heart, stating how much he relishes this opportunity, even if it involves facing death at the hands of a skilled assassin.

The Hitman: LeChiffre contract is already live and will be playable until July 6, after which it may make a limited return, a common practice for elusive targets within the franchise.
