Agent 47 is narrating Blade Runner for me, this is surreal

[@Anacronian]

No this is heaven.

[@unap16]

Glad I am not the only to notice this. Perhaps all this dialog will show up as an easter egg in the next Hitman entry.

[@agffans5725]

Not all that surprising, because the Hitman games are made by the Danish video game developer IO Interactive who hired the actor and voice actor David Bateson to do the voice of Agent 47 ... Bateson was originally born in South Africa but has lived permanently in Denmark since 1992, working as an actor and narrator in lots of Danish TV series and movies. So the DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra, which is the Danish equivalent to English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, also make use of him and his skills as narrator.

[@dustysparks]

He also does work (or did work) for PBS's Frontline programs
