Watch: These Gamers Got Ready for ‘Hitman’ By Controlling a Real-Life Agent 47
No blood money required.
Have you ever wanted to have your very own assassin at your disposal? Now’s your chance.
To get players hyped for the soon-to-release Hitman, Realm Pictures set up a live-action Hitman level where participants control a real-life Agetn 47 through a set replicating one of the missions in the actual video game.
It took quite a bit of technical expertise to pull off. A team of 22 actors in camera rigs were wired into an A/V desk, and you can bet it took some top-notch choreography to pull off a smooth gaming experience. Still, this is one of the coolest video game promos we’ve seen lately, and it’s cool to see some real work go into Hitman’s marketing as opposed to some half-hearted stunt.
If this video got you pumped for some assassin action, you don’t have long to wait. The latest installment in the Hitman franchise will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 11th.
