Hitman World of Assassination has seen Agent 47 face a rogue’s gallery of guest stars, but he may only have one shot to take out a notorious hip hop alter ego in the next elusive target mission, Eminem vs. Slim Shady.
That’s right: Marshall Mathers himself is the star of the next add-on mission for IO Interactive’s long-running sandbox stealth series. An Xbox Partner Preview trailer for the music-themed collaboration teases an especially creative mission for players to look forward to as Eminem asks Agent 47 to take care of his chaotic evil twin after he becomes a walking, talking bad guy.
Hitman World of Assassination will soon see players work with Eminem to organize the death of Slim Shady, but IOI is no stranger when it comes to bringing celebrities into its deadly sandbox. Other recent elusive target collaborations have seen Agent 47 coming face to face with Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme, with another 007-themed pack pitting the cold killer against Mads Mikkelsen’s Casino Royale villain, Le Chiffre.
