Bear with me, but I think Agent 47 is Archer
This is Agent 47 as he appears in the Hitman artbook (available as part of the $139.99 collector's edition). But I swear I've seen him somewhere else.
Don't see what I mean? Alright, let me just grab some hair.
Still not seeing it?
Tweak the eyebrow, give him a little smirk, and hey, Lana? Lana.
LANAAAAAAAA
I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
In this video featurette on Agent 47's (very slightly) revised looks for the new Hitman, main writer Michael Vogt does say that the silent assassin's appearance was tweaked to reflect his new "spy thriller" story. Personally, I choose to believe that 47 is just another of Sterling Archer's many identities.
