Season of The Host

Welcome to the Season of The Host for HITMAN World of Assassination.

The latest Elusive Target mission stars creator icon Jacksepticeye.

In this mission, Agent 47 targets Finn Colton, aka Finnvictus, a wealthy and controversial content creator accused of exploiting employees. After one creator who signed with his team disappeared and was presumed murdered, Colton became the prime suspect. Protected by his wealth and influence, he hides in his heavily monitored complex in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. To infiltrate it, 47 poses as “thought leader” Tobias Rieper and joins the Finn and Friends podcast. With cameras everywhere, he must stay hidden while eliminating his target.

In addition to the new Elusive Target, we will also welcome two themed DLC packs, a new roadmap with new challenges, IOI Account reward, Twitch Drops and more.

The Host October 29th - November 25th

In the new Elusive Target 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.
