Agent 47 is trading the screen for cardboard. Hitman: The Board Game, made by MOOD Publishing in partnership with IO Interactive, has roared past its Gamefound target, finishing at more than 860% of its goal. It is a competitive game for 1 to 4 players that tries to bottle the thing the video games are loved for: walking into a busy level and finding your own ridiculous way to take out the target.

Start organising for freeEach player controls a master assassin who travels the globe, slips into guarded locations and eliminates marks through improvisation, disguises and a bit of nerve. As in the video games, there is rarely one correct route, and the fun is in the creative solution, the dropped chandelier or the conveniently poisoned drink. Pledges ran from a €70 base game (around £60) up to a €425 all-in tier (around £360) stuffed with miniatures and upgrades, with that top tier due to ship in July 2027.
The news landed during a busy stretch for the franchise. IO Interactive has been rolling out fresh Hitman: World of Assassination content, including a new Elusive Target running from 5 June to 5 July, plus word of classic trilogy remasters. The studio has spent years turning Hitman into a sprawling sandbox of social-stealth playgrounds, which is exactly why a tabletop version makes so much sense.

See how it worksCrowdfunding has wrapped, but campaigns like this usually open a late-pledge window through the pledge manager, so it is worth checking the Gamefound page if you missed it. With delivery a fair way off, you have plenty of time to plan your first perfect, or gloriously botched, hit.
