HITMAN 2 Sean Bean elusive target
Sean Bean just cannot catch a break. The actor seems to be destined to play roles in which his character is killed off in one way or another. He has already met his end in films like GoldenEye and Lord of the Rings, or even the TV series Game of Thrones. Those are just the quick ones off the top of my head. According to ShortList, Bean has another 20+ films in which his character is killed off. The guy just can't catch a break, so who better to be the first elusive target in HITMAN 2 than him?

Nobody, that's who. Alright, maybe there are some others who have been killed off more often but Bean's deaths have become a running joke at this point and it's clear he's embracing it.

Sean Bean will play the character Mark Faba, also known as "The Undying." Bean will make his HITMAN debut on November 20, just one week after HITMAN 2 is released. The elusive target event will run for ten days and will be free to everyone that owns the game.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and IO Interactive today announced that international actor Sean Bean will star in the first Elusive Target mission for the HITMAN 2 video game. Bean will take on the role of Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin. Notoriously known as “The Undying,” Faba’s reputation as a master of faking his own death is second to none, ultimately causing the International Contract Agency (ICA) to put an imposing bounty on his head.

“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’m looking forward to everyone seeing my character in action when the mission launches.”

In HITMAN 2, Elusive Targets are unique, high-stakes contracts that are only available for a limited time. These missions are free for all players, allowing one chance to assassinate the target and if not successfully completed, the contract cannot be retried. The Undying Elusive Target mission is the first of many post-launch, free live content updates that players will be able to enjoy in HITMAN 2.
