IO Interactive Unveils Eminem vs Slim Shady Mission for Hitman: World of Assassination
During the Xbox Partner Showcase today, IO Interactive introduced an intriguing new addition to the Hitman: World of Assassination universe. Set to launch on December 1, the free, limited-time mission titled “Eminem vs Slim Shady” invites players to navigate a unique narrative where the iconic rapper enlists the help of Agent 47.
In a fascinating twist, the mission revolves around Eminem’s struggle with his infamous alter-ego, Slim Shady, who has taken on a life of his own as a dangerous entity. As described in IO Interactive’s press release, “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.”

This environment blurs the lines between doctors, patients, and performers, creating a surreal backdrop where Slim Shady captivates an audience comprised of both staff and inmates with his unpredictable live performances.
