Eminem Announces Slim Shady ‘Hitman’ Collab
The limited-time mission in Hitman World of Assassination has players targeting Eminem's violent alter ego Slim Shady in a surreal Japanese asylum setting.
- On November 20, IO Interactive announced during Xbox's Partner Preview that rapper Eminem teams with Agent 47 to take out Slim Shady in a new Elusive Target mission.
- The mission echoes themes from Eminem's recent studio release The Death of Slim Shady, as Xbox Wire said the younger Slim Shady has become an 'entirely separate, violent entity.'
- Set within Popsomp Hills Asylum in Hokkaido, players must infiltrate interconnected areas like a recording studio, 'Group Training Session', and broadcasting studio, with the 'mom's spaghetti' gag, in a surreal environment.
- The update arrives next month on all platforms, adding the mission to Hitman World of Assassination and continuing the series' tradition of limited-time celebrity Elusive Targets.
- The update goes live December 1 and runs through December 31, with Xbox blog post and promotional source highlighting surreal marketing and the franchise marketing convention of amplified real-world personas.
