Overview
- IO Interactive confirmed that Snoop Dogg plays Dr. Cyrus “Crysu” Cane in The Herbalist, a Celebrity Elusive Target available from Thursday, August 27 until September 26, 2026.
- Snoop provided both his likeness and voice for the role, and his son Cordell C. Broadus makes a cameo in the mission.
- The assignment takes place on Haven Island and centers on Dr. Cane’s new product, Morsizzles, a cookie alleged to be addictive and tied to cover-ups and deaths during internal testing that Agent 47 must stop.
- Current owners of Hitman: World of Assassination can play the Elusive Target for free during its month-long run, while a paid Herbalist Pack arrives on September 4 with permanent access to two missions plus themed outfits and items for $7.99/€7.99/£6.99.
- The Herbalist continues IO Interactive’s recent strategy of high-profile celebrity crossovers to refresh its live-service game, a tactic that aims to bring players back to time-limited content and to convert some into buyers of permanent packs.
