Snoop Dogg stars in new ‘HITMAN’ Elusive Target mission, out now

Snoop D-O-double-G is G-A-M-E in HITMAN World of Assassinations latest Elusive Target mission. The blockbuster stealth series’ newest target, The Herbalist, features the likeness and equally recognizable voice of West Coast hip-hop mogul Snoop Dogg as Dr. Cyrus Cane, a crooked cookie-company owner whose profit-over-people approach could cost customers their lives.

As Agent 47, your objective is to eliminate the deadly dessert, called Morsizzles, and dastardly creator Dr. Cane for good.

As if Snoop’s cameo weren’t cool enough, the rap star is joined by his son, Cordell C. Broadus, who lends his voice to an in-game party guest. The pair comprise the first father-son duo to appear together in the franchise.

Snoop Dogg spoke on his HITMAN cameo in a news release. “It’s definitely an honor to step into a franchise as legendary as HITMAN, with millions of fans,” he said.

“IO Interactive cooked up a truly fine mission, and bringing my son Cordell along for the ride? That’s awesome. The final ingredient that’s missing is how much style the players are going to be able to bring, so let’s see what you can do against Dr. Cyrus Cane.” Snoop Dogg added.
