David Bateson to return as Agent 47
Hitman: Absolution voice actor confirmed
IO Interactive, a Square Enix studio, today announced the talent behind the role of Agent 47 in Hitman: Absolution.
After a long search, the voice of Agent 47 will once again be acted by David Bateson who has been the voice of Hitman since the year 2000 with the seminal PC release of Codename 47. Alongside Bateson, William Mapother (star of TV series LOST) has performed the motion capture work for Agent 47 which was recorded at Giant Studios.
Speaking about the decision to return to Bateson - after the studio earlier declared he wouldn’t be the voice of 47 - Brand Director Jon Brooke said, “IO and Bateson have been bed fellows for over a decade and like all long running relationships sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder. Looking back I think we were just playing hard to get.”
Both Bateson and Mapother now join talent announced for the game including Marsha Thomason, Keith Carradine, Vivica Fox, Shannyn Sossamon and Powers Boothe.
Hitman: Absolution is set to be released globally November 20, 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. For more, check out our Hitman Absolution Preview from E3.
