Snoop Dogg will headline Hitman’s final chapter as “The Herbalist,” a new Celebrity Elusive Target due on August 27.
Snoop Dogg as The Herbalist
The Gamescom trailer confirms the 25‑year‑old rap icon’s cameo, showcasing him in the trademark laid‑back swagger mixed with cannabis‑themed gags. Agent 47’s lone objective persists: terminate The Herbalist before he can advance his agenda.
IO Interactive emphasizes the mission as “a new snack taking the world by storm,” putting the target at the heart of a challenge that pits the assassin’s stealth against a public‑figure’s charisma.
A Familiar Crossover
Already featured in Call of Duty, Fortnite, and other titles, Snoop’s entry into Hitman builds on a breakout period of celebrity appearances within game narratives. The rapper’s partnership with IO dates back to 2022, when he joined the Stranger Than Heaven cast.
The Celebrity Target Tradition
Each Celebrity Elusive Target transforms real‑world personalities into playable goals, offering fresh angles and tactical variations across iconic Hitman locations. The Herbalist follows this lineage, continuing the series’ fusion of high‑stakes espionage and notable pop culture figures.
With its August 27 launch, players will experience yet another chapter in Hitman’s blend of tactical intrigue and celebrity spectacle.
