David Bateson, the voice of 47 in the Hitman series, says he’s been asked to remove details on his website regarding his work on Hitman 5. But the actor confirms a sequel is coming, and it will be “gob smacking.”
Speaking to The Gaming Liberty, Bateson was asked for details on Hitman 5 and replied “I have to plead the 5th Amendment on this one. I am under contract not to say anything.” But he adds, “There have been delays,” and “if the artwork is anything to go byā¦ brace yourself!”
Apparently he’s allowed to confirm the game’s in progress. Which is hardly shocking, it’s a very popular series, and IO Interactive is now owned by sequel-maestros Square Enix.

Further down in the interview, Bateson pays tribute to the legions of dedicated Hitman fans: “That kind of dedication and appreciation of the game deserves repayment ā¦ with an even more gob smacking installment in Hitman 5,” he tells The Gaming Liberty. “I don’t envy IO Interactive for the pressure they must [be] under to deliver. I am utterly convinced they will!”
