On December 1st, the hip-hop superstar Eminem will team up with Agent 47 to take on the dangerous Slim Shady. For the entire month of December, Slim Shady will be the latest Elusive Target in Hitman: World of Assassination.
This Elusive Target actually ties a bit into Eminem's latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, where the artist "tried to put his unhinged other self away." Still, "it seems like his past continues to haunt him."
This Elusive Target takes Agent 47 into a version of the Hokkaido level that is "packed with psychological, dreamlike twists that mirror Slim Shady's fractured reality." The medical facility is now the Popsomp Hills Asylum where "doctors, patients, and performers blur into one."
“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.
The mission itself will be free but there will also be an Eminem vs. Slim Shady Pack for $4.99 that adds a new suit, four items, and home base cosmetics tied to the mission.
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”.
