Eminem has officially joined Hitman World of Assassination as both himself and his famous alter ego, Slim Shady.
The game’s new Elusive Target mission, ‘Eminem vs. Slim Shady’, is centred around the Detroit rapper and will be available to play for free between December 1st and December 31st.
The collaboration comes about following 2024’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) album, which attempted to put an end to his Slim Shady persona.
The plot finds Eminem hiring Agent 47 to kill Slim Shady. In a statement, Em said, “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.”
A description for the game reads, “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.”
It continues, “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’.”
Throughout the mission, fans will encounter a poisoned plate of his iconic Mom’s Spaghetti and a performance of ‘Houdini’, which appeared on his recent album.
It will be available on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, ROG Xbox Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally, PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone, and iPad.
Em previously teamed up with Call of Duty: Ghosts in 2013 to promote the multiplayer trailer for the game.
