Aspecticor is an American streamer and content creator who specializes in speedrunning games. On February 8, he broke the world record for Hitman 3, released in 2021. This record was previously held by Razalu, followed by the famous Twitch streamer, Atrioc.

When he began streaming recently, he was shared with a video link on YouTube saying that there was a message for him. The unlisted video contained a message from the voice actor David Bateson who plays Agent 47 in the game. The video was titled “On Top of the World (Record).”

As he loaded up the video, he said:

“What is this?”

The video started, and the voice of Agent 47 popped up:

“Greetings Aspecticor.”

The streamer was stunned listening to his voice and the actor calling out his name. He promptly paused the video and exclaimed:

“No shot!”

He continued with the video, but not believing what he was listening to, the internet star paused once more and said:

“Dude, for a second, I thought it was an AI. Is this the actual actor, voice actor for 47?”

He resumed the clip, and it went on:

“My sources whispered an up-and-coming agent sporting a red tuxedo who has risen through the ranks at an above-average speed.”

The new record holder again paused the video due to the sheer excitement. He said:

“Dude! This is so sick! This is so dope, dude!”

He then watched the entire video along with his Twitch chat and audience.

The Hitman games have a linearity to them, yet they also rely on the players’ freedom. While the mission’s end purpose is known, there are a variety of paths to get there.

All of the recent titles have encouraged gamers to approach and complete a task regardless of how linear they consider it to be. Time is often an important consideration, as completing a mission in a set amount of time benefits users.
