Supported by his Agency handler, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47 joins forces with his long-lost friend Lucas Grey. Their ultimate mission is to eliminate the partners of Providence, but they are forced to adapt as their hunt intensifies. When the dust settles, 47 and the world he inhabits will never be the same again.

In 2015, we shared our vision for the World of Assassination; an ever-expanding game that would evolve over time and be the foundation for future Hitman games. Those were the exact words we used and a central promise to how we’ve released the three games in the 7 years that followed. Hitman World of Assassination includes Hitman 1, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3.

Featuring six meticulously detailed locations packed full of creative opportunities, Hitman World of Assassination gives players the unrivaled freedom to complete their objectives in a game world that reacts to everything they do. All of this is made possible by IOI’s award-winning Glacier technology, which powers Hitman III’s immersive game world to offer unparalleled player choice and replayability.

Hitman World of Assassination players can import locations from the previous games in the trilogy and have more than 20+ locations under one roof. All of the improvements to rendering, animation and AI introduced with Hitman World of Assassination can be enjoyed across all three games, making Hitman World of Assassination the ultimate place to play the entire World of Assassination trilogy.

IO Interactive just announced an exciting new Elusive Target mission in Hitman World Of Assassination. 

The new Elusive Target mission, featuring the likeness and voiceover work from rap legend, multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY-nominated recording artist Snoop Dogg is playable from August 27th until September 26th, 2026, for free in game and via the Free Demo, on PS5, PS4, PlayStation VR2, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, ROG Xbox Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally, PC, PC VR, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone, iPad, and the Apple silicon Mac. 

"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.” shared Snoop Dog.

"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.

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.
