Agent 47 has met several famous faces--and even killed a few of them--throughout his journey in the World of Assassination, but for his next mission, he'll be taking on one of the greatest rap artists of all time: Slim Shady. To be specific, the new Elusive Target mission coming to Hitman will see Agent 47 tasked with killing Eminem's younger alter-ego by none other than Eminem himself. We promise we're not making this up.
Thanks to Slim Shady being a separate--and violent--entity, the real Eminem is fearful that his creation will eventually come for him. It's up to Agent 47 to step in and take down Slim Shady so that the real Eminem can keep on rapping till he collapses.
If you're new to them, Elusive Targets are one of the more interesting challenges in Hitman. Your targets don't show up as a red glow when you use 47's instincts to search for them, as you'll have to rely on intel and surveillance to keep track of your mark. You usually get one shot to take down an Elusive Target--as bungling a mission does have consequences--but IO has brought several of these popular contracts back in the past.
The last Elusive Target mission saw 47 team up with late martial-arts legend Bruce Lee to take down a shadowy syndicate, and this new mission will go live in Hitman: World of Assassination soon.
IO Interactive's next game, 007: First Light, will be released in March 2026. As its release date draws closer, the studio has been sharing more details on the game, its world, and how it has crafted an original James Bond story that shows how the rookie MI6 earns his 00 status. A new trailer for the game debuted during the Xbox Partner Preview Showcase, and it showed off the new state-of-the-art Aston Martin Valhalla that Bond will use in his travels.
