No, this isn't a fever dream. Eminem is teaming up with IO Interactive for one of the strangest Hitman crossovers yet. In December, Agent 47 will take on Slim Shady in a special Elusive Target mission set in a twisted version of Hokkaido's medical facility. The mission is free to all Hitman 3 players, but there's an optional cosmetic pack if you want the full theme.
- Eminem stars in Hitman 3's next Elusive Target, with Agent 47 sent to eliminate Slim Shady
- Mission launches December 1 2025 and is free for all Hitman 3 players
- A paid "Eminem vs Slim Shady Pack" adds cosmetics and items for about $4.99
The Mission Setup
The action takes place inside a warped version of Hitman’s Hokkaido hospital, now turned into a bizarre broadcast-driven asylum.
- Set inside “Popsomp Hills Asylum,” a reworked Hokkaido facility
- Slim Shady runs the place with brain-washing shows and staged performances
- Rooms blend operating theatres with TV studio gear
- Doctors, patients and staff are sucked into Slim Shady’s world
IO Interactive describes the level as dream-like. Think medical corridors, neon studio lights and cult-like behaviour happening room to room. It fits Slim Shady’s chaotic persona while giving Agent 47 a fresh environment built on misdirection and noise.
What You Get for Free
You don’t need to pay anything to play the mission. As long as you own Hitman 3, you’re set.
- Elusive Target mission available to all players
- Launches 1 December 2025
- Standard Elusive Target rules apply
- No gameplay restrictions behind paywalls
It’s nice to see the mission available for everyone, especially since most players treat Elusive Targets as event content. Just make sure the game is updated before the launch window hits.
The Paid Pack
There’s a small optional pack that drops on the same day with items themed around the collaboration.
- Price: around $4.99 (expect ~AED 18–20 locally)
- Includes a new suit
- Four extra items
- New cosmetics for the safe-house
Nothing in the pack changes how the mission plays. It’s mostly style pieces tied to the atmosphere of the level. If you’re deep into Hitman’s wardrobe and props, the price is manageable.
Why This Crossover Works
Hitman has done celebrity missions before, but this one leans into the surreal nature of Eminem’s alter-ego instead of pretending it’s a normal assassination.
- Fits the stranger side of Hitman level design
- Adds a twist without changing core mechanics
- Gives the community a global launch moment
- Offers a small but fair-priced optional pack
For UAE players, it’s another example of publishers syncing releases worldwide with no major region-lock issues. Just check the usual PSN / Xbox / Steam update times and your store’s AED pricing.
