Jacksepticeye joins HITMAN WOA as The Host

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind, among others, the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise and the recently released 007 First Light, has just announced an exciting new Elusive Target mission in HITMAN World of Assassination. The new Elusive Target mission, featuring the likeness and voiceover work of Seán McLoughlin, better known to millions as creator icon Jacksepticeye, is playable from October 29th until November 25th, 2026, for free in game and via the Free Demo, on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®VR2, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, ROG Xbox Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally, PC, PC VR, Nintendo Switch™*, Nintendo Switch™2*, iPhone, iPad, and the Apple silicon Mac.

In this latest mission, Agent 47 sets his sights on Finn Colton, better known by his online handle Finnvictus, a popular, controversial, and now very wealthy content creator. The former children’s television star is regularly criticized for exploitative contracts that push his employees to their limits. 47’s client, is a relative of one such content creator, who disappeared after signing a contract with the Finnvictus team. The evidence points to her murder, and to Colton as the perpetrator – but due to his wealth and influence, justice has proved difficult to secure. Colton is secretive and paranoid, spending most of his time at his remote content complex in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, where a camera setup livestreams every aspect of his life 24/7. To get inside, the client has secured Agent 47 a guest spot on the Finn and Friends podcast, under the alias of “thought leader” Tobias Rieper. There are eyes everywhere, and 47 must make sure they do not see him. To play the Elusive Target mission featuring The Host, players need to have access to the Hawke’s Bay location.

The mission delivers a brand-new character and an all-new storyline set in Hawke’s Bay, marking Jacksepticeye’s debut in the World of Assassination. Seán McLoughlin lends both his likeness and voice to Finn Colton, bringing his unmistakable energy and personality to Agent 47’s world. What follows is a darkly comic exploration of Colton’s bizarre content empire. Much like 47, Colton is a man who must wear many masks to earn his living, but while 47 is at peace with being “nothing” underneath his disguises, Colton is not.

A brand-new roadmap kicks off today, bringing fresh and returning content for players to enjoy: The Host Elusive Target & Special Assignment, a new challenge, new Featured Contracts, a new Twitch Drop, and the return of the Elusive Targets The Pharmacist, The Warlord, and The Entertainer, alongside an IOI Account Reward, a complete slate of assignments for Agent 47 to take on.

Alongside the Elusive Target, The Host Assignment offers players a new Special Assignment that includes five challenges, featuring Jacksepticeye as Finn Colton, while the new “Like Mist” challenge rewards players with The Vampire Magician Suit. Returning Elusive Targets will also send Agent 47 back to Paris for The Pharmacist, Bangkok for The Warlord, and Marrakesh for The Entertainer.

Meanwhile, the new Twitch Drop offers up the Royal Purple Banana, and players who play The Host with an IOI Account will unlock The Hijacker Duck. A new batch of Featured Contracts rounds out the season.

The Host Pack, a brand new DLC pack themed after the latest Elusive Target, will also be available, starting October 29th and on all platforms**.
