Eminem is joining Hitman World of Assassination as the newest Elusive Target, hiring Agent 47 to eliminate his infamous alter ego, Slim Shady, in a unique crossover mission revealed during the Xbox Partner Preview.

IO Interactive is taking its celebrity Elusive Target missions to a whole new level with an unexpected collaboration for Hitman World of Assassination. As revealed during a recent Xbox Partner Preview, legendary rapper Eminem is stepping into the World of Assassination universe, and he is bringing some serious baggage with him. In this upcoming music themed mission, Agent 47 is hired by Marshall Mathers himself to permanently eliminate his chaotic alter ego, Slim Shady. It is a wildly creative premise that leans heavily into the playful tone the sandbox stealth series has embraced with its guest star runs.

The setup for the mission is as meta as fans of the rapper could hope for. According to the official announcement, Eminem has tried everything to put his infamous alter ego to rest, but the chaotic twin keeps coming back. Because of that, he is calling in the ultimate professional to get the job done. IO Interactive has described the collaboration as something truly special, promising plenty of surprises for players who jump into the contract. It is the kind of crossover that practically guarantees a massive wave of creative Twitch and YouTube content once the mission goes live.

For a game that thrives on community creativity and endless replayability, stunt castings like this keep the social loop spinning long after launch. Whether players decide to execute the target with clinical precision or orchestrate the most chaotic, meme worthy accident possible, the community is ready to deliver.
