Snoop Dogg: The next elusive target in HITMAN
Agent 47 just stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight. In a move that perfectly blends stealth and celebrity culture, the world of HITMAN: World of Assassination is getting a fresh dose of chaos with a new, limited-time Elusive Target: Snoop Dogg.
The surprise announcement dropped during Gamescom Opening Night Live, signaling that the intricate world of Assassination is ready for some unexpected flavor. This latest assignment, titled the ‘Herbalist’ mission, has Agent 47 hunting down the elusive Snoop Dogg.
Mark your calendars: this mission will be live on the 27th of August. The objective puts Agent 47 in pursuit of Dr. Cyrus Cane, an eccentric entrepreneur whose latest venture involves the release of something far more coveted than a simple heist: Morsizzles cookies.
This new challenge is woven into a larger narrative known as the ‘Season of the Herbalist,’ promising a rich mix of new and returning content for players. For those who want to dive deeper into this theme, IO Interactive has also released a paid Herbalist Pack for £6.99, offering additional Snoop Dogg related content.
However, the hunt for the legendary rapper doesn’t have to end right away. Even if you decide not to purchase the premium pack, the opportunity to eliminate Dr. Cane remains open for all until September 26th, giving players plenty of time to explore and master the environment.
Beyond the celebrity intrigue, the game continues to evolve. Meanwhile, the core experience of HITMAN: World of Assassination is also receiving major technical upgrades. The game’s latest installment, 007 First Light, is slated for an update on September 15th, bringing state-of-the-art advancements like Path Tracing and DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction to the fray.
