Hitman: World of Assassination wants you to smoke Snoop Dogg
Agent 47 has a new target and it’s rapper, singer and actor Snoop Dogg. The noted wacky baccy enthusiast has joined Hitman: World of Assassination as its latest Elusive Target and you can hunt him down in the game’s Haven Island map.
Well, not strictly him; as with previous celebrity guests, Hitman has him playing a villainous character who deserves to be drowned in a toilet, shoved off a cliff or whatever fate you ultimate arrange. Here he’s Dr. Cyrus Cane, aka The Herbalist, whose cannabis cookies can have fatal side effects.
Is it all a bit “Drugs are bad, mmkay”? Maybe, but we’re huge Hitman fans so we’re itching for new targets. Dispatching Cane isn’t the only job 47 has on Haven Island, either. He’s also got to dispose of Cane’s cannabis crop, before making his escape.
As an Elusive Target, you’ve got one attempt to kill Cane. You can quit the game and restart if you’re fast, but dying, or some other fail state, means you’ve lost. The good news, for both you and IO Interactive’s bank balance, is that you can buy The Herbalist DLC, priced at £6.99, which includes a handful of cosmetics, and revisit The Herbalist whenever you want.
Hitman’s The Herbalist Elusive target is available from now until September 26th. If you don’t own the game, it’s currently discounted on PlayStation and Steam (it’s also on Xbox but there’s no discount).
