MMA fighter Conor McGregor is joining Hitman World of Assassination as a new Elusive Target today — the latest target for Agent 47, IO Interactive announced.
In a brand-new mission designed in collaboration with The Notorious himself, players can go after McGregor’s character and perform a hit on the Elusive Target.
The Disruptor mission is available for free, as part of the Free Starter Pack for new players and as an Elusive Target for Hitman World of Assassination players, for a limited time only. Copenhagen, Denmark-based IO Interactive, the independent studio behind the Hitman franchise, is keeping the game going as a game-as-a-service with the new mission update in hopes of drawing players back in.
The Disruptor is about a multimillionaire MMA fighter who started a feud with the CEO of a prominent tech company, painting a target on himself. He has the likeness and voiceover work from global superstar and MMA legend McGregor.
