IO Interactive just pulled off the ultimate crossover move: Bruce Lee himself has entered the Hitman universe. Starting today, September 25, players can dive into The Infiltrator, a brand-new Elusive Target mission running until November 20 in Hitman: World of Assassination.
Agent 47 Meets Agent Lee
Unlike past Elusive Targets, Bruce Lee isn’t someone you’re taking down-he’s your ally. Cast as Agent Lee, the martial arts legend is going undercover to infiltrate the Concord Union, a crime syndicate operating out of Hong Kong. His cover? Entering a shadowy international martial arts tournament being held at Bangkok’s Himmapan Hotel.
While Lee shows off his signature fists of fury in the ring, players slip into the shadows as Agent 47, working as his unseen guardian. Your job isn’t to assassinate-it’s to protect Bruce Lee from sabotage, assassins, and traps without ever breaking cover.
New Gameplay: Protect, Don’t Eliminate
The Infiltrator flips the usual Hitman script on its head. Instead of hunting a target, you’re keeping one alive. Expect:
- Dynamic protection mechanics: Perfectly timed interventions to keep Lee in the fight
- Combat observation & manipulation: Influence match outcomes by tampering with gear, distracting fighters, or reshuffling bouts
- Environmental sabotage: Set traps for saboteurs while staying hidden
- High stakes: Bruce Lee isn’t invincible-if he goes down, the mission fails
Success means playing patient, precise, and protective. For once, the kill count doesn’t matter-it’s survival that does.
A Tribute to the Dragon
IO Interactive has made sure this isn’t just a cameo. Agent Lee’s design is a direct nod to Bruce Lee’s legendary yellow jumpsuit from Game of Death, and the mission itself pulls inspiration from his filmography. It’s both a respectful homage and a fresh spin for long-time Hitman fans looking for a new kind of challenge.
Available Now
The Infiltrator is free in the Hitman Starter Pack for new players and available to all World of Assassination owners as an Elusive Target mission. You’ve got until November 20 to step into the shadows and protect Bruce Lee in what might be the stealthiest bodyguard gig of all time.
