Slim Shady Is Bringing Mom’s Spaghetti to Hitman as the Newest Elusive Target
HITMAN World of Assassination‘s newest elusive target has been announced, and it’s quite possibly the game’s most insane collaboration yet. Rap icon Eminem is coming to the Hitman universe, and he’s enlisting the help of Agent 47.
The target? Well, that’s the fun part, as not only will Eminem be himself in this upcoming collaboration, but his alter ego, Slim Shady, is also making an appearance.
He’ll be the elusive target we’ll have to hunt down, and based on the trailer, things are going to get pretty messy.
Will the Real Slim Shady, Please Stand Up?
“I’ve been trying to put Slim to rest, but he keeps coming back. So this time, I’m calling in a professional to get the job done once and for all. We’ve got some surprises in store for everyone…it’s a battle for the ages,” shared Eminem.
I can’t say I was ever expecting to see this happen in the world of HITMAN, but you know what, I’m all for it!
“When we first set out to build the World of Assassination, collaborations on this scale weren’t even part of our dreams. Today, working with one of the most iconic artists in history shows how far HITMAN has grown, and how far we want to take it. This collaboration with Eminem is something truly special and unique, which I’m sure will delight both our players and Eminem’s fanbase,” Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive, said in the press release.
Here’s a breakdown of everything that was announced today:
Eminem vs Slim Shady – Playable for free starting December 1st
Rap icon Eminem joins the World of Assassination both as himself and his twisted alter ego, Slim Shady. In his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady” the rapper attempted to put his other self away, but now Eminem recruits the legendary assassin Agent 47 to put his past away permanently. In a surreal new mission crafted by Eminem in collaboration with IOI and creative director/producer Paul Rosenberg, the level is packed with dreamlike twists that mirror Slim Shady’s unhinged reality. Operatives find themselves in a medical facility in Hokkaido that has been twisted into the Popsomp Hills Asylum. Agent 47 will have to track Slim Shady across multiple areas, such as his broadcasting studio, to take him out without being detected. There are abundant Eminem references in the mission from throughout the rapper’s discography, such as a poisoned plate of the iconic Mom’s Spaghetti and a performance of “Houdini”.
