New Elusive Target, The Herbalist – Available August 27th

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.

Meanwhile, the new Twitch Drops offer up The Purple Streak Proximity Explosive, a modular device finished in a striking shade of violet and detonated by proximity, best placed with caution as it's highly suspicious if noticed, alongside Green Grapes, seedless fruit that, despite usually being good for your health, will cause anyone who steps on them to slip and fall.

His opponent is fellow Ark Society member Tim Quinn, CEO of Quantum Leap. Agent 47 mission is to do everything in his power to keep Quinn safe and stop Graves from "winning the fight".

In the past months, the HITMAN community has shown strong interest in the gameplay experience on Isle of Sgàil, this new Elusive Target represents an opportunity to reintroduce that mission in a fresh way. With more than one million active players engaging with HITMAN content every month, community feedback remains an important part of how we evolve the game, and IO Interactive is looking forward to players stepping back into the ring.
