Agent 47 is racking up a rather tidy celebrity kill list, isn’t he? Having recently offed Wiz Khalifa, hip hop legend legend Snoop Dogg will be the next Elusive Target available in Hitman: World of Assassination – watch the reveal trailer below:
Available for free between August 27th and September 26th, all Hitman players will get an opportunity to take down Snoop in a reworked version of Hitman 2’s Haven Island DLC map. As with all other Elusive Target missions, you only have one shot to assassinate the guest celebrity: if everything goes pear-shaped you’ll need to adapt on the fly or fail the contract. Here’s an overview of the upcoming content drop:
In this latest mission, Agent 47 sets his sights on Dr. Cyrus Cane, an eccentric entrepreneur famed the world over for his wide-ranging and unconventional business ventures. His newest venture, Morsizzles, a cookie product gearing up for a worldwide launch, is poised to earn millions as buzz over its addictive taste spreads rapidly through social media and investment circles alike. However, beneath the hype lies a darker truth: an investigation has surfaced evidence of cover-ups linked to several deaths during internal product testing. To stop the launch and fulfil the contract, Dr. Cane must be permanently removed as the face of Morsizzles, and the product must disappear. Cyrus Cane is throwing a lavish pre-launch celebration at his home on Haven Island, drawing a guest list of food industry insiders, investors, and influencers eager to get a taste of what’s next. The perfect set-up for Agent 47 to mingle with the crowd and prepare his next move. To play the Elusive Target mission featuring The Herbalist, players need to have access to Haven Island location.
The mission delivers a brand-new character and an all-new storyline set on Haven Island, marking Snoop Dogg’s debut in the World of Assassination. The rap icon lends both his likeness and voice to the mission, bringing his unmistakable presence and personality to Agent 47’s world in a way only Snoop Dogg can, as the Morsizzles ad attests. Joining him is his son, Cordell C. Broadus, who also brings his own likeness and voiceover work to the mission, marking a joint appearance for the father-son duo within a video game. Cordell appears in-game as a guest enjoying the party, giving players the chance to find both father and son as they make their mark on Haven Island together.
The Herbalist Elusive Target will only be available for a limited time, unless you put some money down for the latest premium pack which gives you permanent access to the contract as well as various themed cosmetics and equipment.
