Agent 47 has always been a man of refined tastes, but his latest target brings a whole new meaning to high-net-worth.
The latest Hitman World of Assassination update introduces Dr Cyrus Cane – played by the legendary Snoop Dogg – who has turned the luxurious Maldivian resort of Haven Island into the nerve centre of his new botanical empire.
Your mission is to crash the VIP launch of Cane’s heavily hyped ‘Morsizzles’ cookies and shut down the operation. It is a brilliant clash of tones, dropping a cold, calculating assassin straight into the sun-soaked opulence of a hip-hop icon’s tropical takeover.
The best part is that you do not need to drop any cash to get in on the action.
IO Interactive is running The Herbalist as a free-to-play Elusive Target event from 27th August to 26th September, and prospective assassins only need to download the Hitman World of Assassination Free Demo and access the assignment directly during this7 four-week window.
The event is live now across almost every device imaginable, with Switch players getting access slightly later on 4th September.
For those who want to keep the aesthetic permanently, upgrading to the paid Herbalist Pack for £6.99 unlocks a gloriously absurd suite of gear.
Highlights include ‘The Entrepreneur Fur Coat’, a heavily branded briefcase, and our personal favourite, ‘The Dank Duck’.
This proximity-activated rubber duck emits a cloud of sedative gas, letting you watch a room full of heavily armed bodyguards peacefully nod off while you make a quiet, untraceable exit.
Time to boot up and head to the Maldives…there’s a botanical empire that needs toppling.
