Hitman World of Assassination unveils rapper Snoop Dogg as its new Elusive Target

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the Hitman franchise and the recently released 007 First Light, has announced a new Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination. The new Elusive Target mission, featuring the likeness and voiceover work from rapper, multi-platinum selling, Grammy-nominated recording artist Snoop Dogg is playable from August 27 until September 26, 2026. “It’s definitely an honor to step into a franchise as legendary as Hitman, with millions of fans. IO Interactive cooked up a truly fine mission, and bringing my son Cordell along for the ride? That’s awesome. The final ingredient that’s missing is how much style the players are going to be able to bring, so let’s see what you can do against Dr. Cyrus Cane,” said Snoop Dogg, in a press release. 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. Image credit: IO Interactive 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. “Snoop Dogg is a true icon, and bringing him into Hitman World of Assassination is a source of immense pride for IOI, even more so as he joins accompanied by his son Cordell, a first for the franchise. Moments like this are what keep Agent 47’s world feeling fresh after all these years, and we’re excited for our community to dive in and experience what we have in store for them,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive, in the same press release. 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. A brand-new roadmap kicks off now, bringing fresh and returning content for players to enjoy: two new challenges, new Featured Contracts batches, two new and two returning Twitch Drops, and the return of Elusive Targets including The Undying Returns, alongside IOI Account Rewards, a complete slate of assignments for Agent 47 to take on. Among the new challenges, “Bloom Where You Are Planted” sends players back to Ambrose Island to help a young student “blossom” in their field, earning a highly coveted silenced pistol, while “Fortune Favors the Bald” takes Agent 47 to the Gama Private Hospital in Hokkaido for a challenge shrouded in.
