MindsEye x Hitman Collab Debuts At Summer Game Fest 2025
Build A Rocket Boy and IOI Partners dropped an all-new trailer for MindsEye during Summer Game Fest 2025, crossing over into the Hitman world.
Build A Rocket Boy and IOI Partners dropped an all-new trailer for MindsEye during Summer Game Fest 2025, crossing over into the Hitman world. The trailer surprised fans with Agent 47 from IO Interactive's Hitman franchise. Agent 47 will be a future playable character in MindsEye for a specific mission. But IOI also revealed the fan-favourite villain from the 2006 film Casino Royale, Le Chiffre, will be an Elusive Target in Hitman World of Assassination as of today. The special Elusive Target mission will be available for one month.
The new MindsEye trailer showcases the game's stunning near-future world, explosive action-packed combat, and the compelling journey of Jacob Diaz—a former soldier whose neural implant may hold the key to a global conspiracy involving rogue AI, corporate corruption, and humanity's survival.
The Danish actor portraying Le Chiffre, Mads Mikkelsen, came out to talk about the collaboration with MindsEye and Hitman. 'Le Chiffre is a character I have always enjoyed—he's calculating, cold, and ruthless,' said Mads Mikkelsen. 'Bringing him into the world of Hitman makes for a thrilling collaboration. Players can expect mind games, high stakes, and twists that only this character could orchestrate. To succeed, they'll need to play their hand wisely,' Mikkelsen stated.
The MindsEye x Hitman mission is the first collaboration announced, and part of the long-term content roadmap already planned following MindsEye's launch. In addition to the scripted campaign, MindsEye will be an ever-expanding player experience, with new studio-created premium content delivered monthly, thanks to the power of BARB's Game Creation System.
Mads Mikkelsen returns as Le Chiffre, the iconic private banker to the criminal underworld, known for his mastery of games of chance and probability. A recent failed venture left him in dire straits, losing vast sums of both legitimate and illicit capital, and in a desperate bid to recover, he has arranged a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Monarchique in Paris. Agent 47 has been tasked with infiltrating the perilous event and will have to find his way to his target to prevent havoc being wreaked across the world.
To celebrate the recent reveal of 007 First Light, players who play The Banker Elusive Target and who have signed up for an IOI account will receive an exclusive suit to redeem in 007 First Light. MindsEye launches on June 10, 2025, and is available for pre-order now (which includes a free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition). Pre-orders for MindsEye are available now.

'Casino Royale' Star Mads Mikkelsen Returns as Le Chiffre
The very first villain that James Bond ever fought was the unscrupulous gambler known as Le Chiffre. And, although that first Bond adventure, Casino Royale, was published in 1953, it wasn't until 2006 that we got a really hardcore version of Le Chiffre on the big screen. And now, 19 years after the debut of that movie, Mads Mikkelsen is back as Le Chiffre, in a super surprising way. As revealed at Summer Game Fest, in Los Angeles, Mikkelsen will appear as Le Chiffre once again in the game HITMAN World of Assassination. The announcement was revealed with a new trailer by IO Interactive, the same game developer that is creating the next big James Bond game, 007 First Light. James Bond will not appear in Hitman World of Assassination, but rather, players will be able to go after Le Chiffre as a specific target. Within the game, Le Chiffre, as played by Mikkelsen, will also be known as "The Banker." This crossover suggests that IO Interactive is going deep on its James Bond connections. While the trailer for First Light suggests an all-new take on Bond (starring Patrick Gibson in the role of 007), the return of Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre from the Daniel Craig era is, of course, a jump back into the recent past. Before Mikkelsen, Peter Lorre played Le Chiffre in a TV version of Casino Royale in 1954. In the 1976 spoof movie, the character was played by Orson Welles. (No word if video game versions of those deep-cut Le Chiffres will return.) It's hard to believe that Casino Royale is now nearly a vintage film. Mikkelsen's take on Le Chiffre is, of course, one of the greatest all-time James Bond villains. It's good to have him back. According to IO Interactive: "The Banker is available globally on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and the newly launched Nintendo Switch 2, starting today, June 6th, to Monday, July 6th."'Casino Royale' Star Mads Mikkelsen Returns as Le Chiffre first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025

Camper Van: Make it Home takes interior design on the road
Camper Van: Make it Home has everything you'd want out of a home-decorating simulator, but it's all on wheels and slightly miniaturized, and something about that combination is extra peaceful.

In Camper Van: Make it Home , players solve organization puzzles and use their interior design skills to craft the mobile homes of their dreams. There's even space to decorate outside of the vehicle, and the accessories change along with the environments and seasons. Camper Van: Make it Home is just a perfect encapsulation of pastel dreaminess and cozy creativity. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Camper Van: Make it Home is developed by Spanish indie team Malapata Studio, with financial support from Wings.

Hitman World of Assassination is coming to iOS and table tops
The Hitman trilogy, also known as Hitman World of Assassination, will be available on iPhones, iPads, as well as Mac computers, this summer. IO Interactive has announced that it was expanding Hitman's availability during the developer's showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025, where it celebrated the franchise's 25th anniversary. IO Interactive's Chief Development Officer, Veronique Lallier, said the launch on iOS means you can travel the world with Hitman in your pocket. Event attendees were given the chance to experience the game running natively on iOS. Lallier also announced that Hitman is coming to table top. IO Interactive has teamed up with board game creator Mood Publishing to make Hitman the board game, which will be available for backing on Kickstarter later this year. The board game will feature the franchise's characters, iconic weapons and backdrops. Up to four players can play as assassins going after a single target, and the one who takes the target out will get the payout in the end. In addition, the developer has revealed that Le Chiffre, the villain from the Bond film Casino Royale , will be the World of Assassination's new Elusive Target. Mads Mikkelsen, the actor who played Le Chiffre in the movie, provided the likeness and the voice for the new game character. You'll only have a limited time to go after Mikkelsen's character, as Hitman's Elusive Target missions only appear once, and you cannot attempt them again after they end. To note, IO Interactive recently revealed its James Bond game, 007 First Light , which will be coming out in 2026. If you play the Elusive Target mission with Le Chiffre, you can redeem an exclusive suit in 007 First Light when it becomes available.
