Agent 47 is finally getting a proper tabletop outing. IO Interactive, the Copenhagen studio behind the Hitman video game series, has confirmed Hitman: The Board Game launches on Gamefound on 30 April in collaboration with MOOD Publishing. It is a 1-4 player competitive race, with players controlling rival assassins all trying to take out the same target while sabotaging the other suit-and-tie types in the room.

Each turn you get three actions, and you can spend them distracting guards, hiding bodies, setting traps, grabbing disguises, breaking down doors, or just hunting your target the old-fashioned way. The four agents in the box come with their own bespoke abilities, and locations and targets are modular, so two plays of the same map can swing wildly depending on whose contract you draw.
Wargamer's preview was enthusiastic about the production, praising the punchy art style and noting the sandbox feel translates well to cardboard. That tracks with IO's wider 25th-anniversary push: Hitman: World of Assassination has just clocked 80 million players, and a separate iOS port was announced earlier in April. Backing the Gamefound page now scores you the Exclusive Security Station Miniature, the kind of crowdfunding bauble that fits a game where half the fun is loitering in the wrong corridor at the right moment.
