Milla Jovovich took to the stage at The Game Awards 2025 initially to announce the winner of ‘Best Multiplayer.’ However, she had more up her sleeve while she was there. IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind, among others, the internationally acclaimed Hitman franchise, announced via Milla Jovovich that she will be the newest member of the roster of celebrity Elusive Target.
“After a surreal Eminem vs. Slim Shady mission, we wanted to surprise our community with another unforgettable collaboration. Milla Jovovich will bring a unique intensity to her character, and this mission is packed with mystery. I am sure our fans will enjoy this one in just a few weeks,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive.

“I am very excited to join the world of Assassination! I am stepping into an amazing character with Lilith; she is dangerous, she has ambition, and a dark secret. I can’t wait for Hitman fans to step into this new mission and uncover her story,” – Milla Jovovich.
In this new mission, Agent 47 is tasked with the elimination of Lilith Devereux, the ambitious prospective CEO of Ether Corporation.
A relative newcomer in the world of the high and mighty, Devereux’s rapid ascent has followed the mysterious deaths of her predecessor Neleis De Waal and chief scientists Silvio Caruso and Francesca De Santis. Her meteoric rise has been generously supported by Gregory Carlisle. For this mission, Agent 47 will visit the Carlisle Estate, based in the Dartmoor location, where tensions will reach a breaking point.
With Jovovich’s longstanding contribution to live-action adaptations of video games such as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, this announcement is a long time coming. In all honesty, it wasn’t until she announced it at The Game Awards that I even realized that this was, in fact, her gaming debut.
The new Elusive Target mission will be available globally for free in February 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, ROG Xbox Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally, PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iPhone, and iPad.
