IO Interactive may have confirmed that James Bond and Agent 47 do not exist in the same game universe, but that is clearly not stopping the studio from letting its two iconic agents exchange a few stylish gifts. As part of a new crossover-style reward campaign, fans of both franchises can now unlock exclusive cosmetics inspired by the other series.
Players who own 007 First Light will receive the new Timeless Tuxedo Suit for Agent 47 inside Hitman World of Assassination. According to IO Interactive, the outfit becomes available once players connect 007 First Light to their IOI Account. The reward will be added to Hitman World of Assassination through a post-launch patch for 007 First Light.
Meanwhile, existing Hitman World of Assassination owners can unlock the stylish Midnight Ray Suit for James Bond in 007 First Light. Like all special outfits revealed for the game so far, the cosmetic is currently limited to the game’s TAC-SIMS mode. The suit features a striking blue-violet tuxedo design with a modern midnight-inspired look that slightly recalls some of Bond’s sleeker Tom Ford-era formalwear.
There is one important requirement for the Hitman and 007 First Light rewards, however: players need an active IOI Account with their respective platform accounts linked in order to claim the crossover suits.
IO Interactive may insist that James Bond and Agent 47 belong to entirely separate worlds, but the growing number of crossover rewards between Hitman and 007 First Light already makes the line feel a little blurry. And with tuxedos, unlockable cosmetics and shared promotions now moving between both franchises, one has to wonder whether the studio can really resist slipping at least a few small Hitman easter eggs into Bond’s new adventure after all.
Additional Epic Games Store Reward
There is also another cross-game promotion connected to 007 First Light. Players who purchase the game through the Epic Games Store will receive the exclusive 007’s Aston Martin DB5 (Obsidian Gold) Wheels for both Rocket League and Fortnite. Ironically, it is currently one of the few ways to drive at least a tiny piece of the legendary DB5 in connection with 007 First Light, as IO Interactive already confirmed that Bond’s most iconic Aston Martin will apparently stay parked outside Bond’s very first adventure.
Casino Suit – Last Call for Now
Anyone still looking to grab the Casino Suit for 007 First Light through the Le Chiffre mission in Hitman should probably move quickly. The crossover event — featuring Mads Mikkelsen’s return as Le Chiffre from Casino Royale — is only available until May 25. While IO Interactive has brought the mission back multiple times already, it could otherwise take quite a while before players get another chance to unlock the reward.
