IO Interactive adds a new Elusive Target mission to Hitman: World of Assassination featuring Snoop Dogg’s likeness as the target. The mission, titled “The Herbalist,” becomes available on 27 August and runs through 26 September.
The outlets describe the content as a time-limited assassination challenge for players. Agent 47 must complete the objective—taking down Snoop Dogg as represented in the mission—inside the Haven Island location. Both sources say the mission is free for owners.
The main difference in coverage is how each outlet frames the context. Push Square emphasizes Snoop Dogg’s broader presence across video games and positions the Hitman appearance as part of a wider trend of celebrity cameos, noting past Elusive Targets featuring other public figures. Nintendo Life focuses more directly on the new target’s in-mission identity—Dr. Cyrus Cane—and on the use of Snoop Dogg’s likeness and voiceover work, rather than the performer’s other gaming appearances.
