IO Interactive announced its latest Elusive Target mission in HITMAN World of Assassination. As part of the game’s continued support, the new Elusive Target mission, titled The Host, will feature the likeness and voice of Seán McLoughlin, better known as Jacksepticeye. The latest mission is playable starting today, October 29, 2026, until November 25, 2026, for free in-game and via the Free Demo on all platforms.
About the collaboration, Jacksepticeye released the following comment in a release to press: “I’ve been playing HITMAN with my community for years, so getting to actually step into the World of Assassination is unreal. Finn is loud, paranoid, and completely obsessed with content, and playing him was an absolute blast. I can’t wait to see all the creative ways you take him down, so make sure you’re recording it!”

Seán McLoughlin lends both his likeness and voice to Finn Colton, bringing his unmistakable energy and personality to Agent 47’s world. His introduction in The Host also aims to be a darkly comedic take on the World of Assassins, and we get to see Agent 47 on a podcast.
What is the new Elusive Target: The Host?
Here’s what Jacksepticeye’s Elusive Target brings to players in the latest Elusive Target Mission. In it, Agent 47 sets his sights on Finn Colton, better known by his online handle Finnvictus, a popular, controversial, and now very wealthy content creator. And of course, played by a famous content creator. That’s where Jacksepticeye comes in.
The former children’s television star isn’t a good person, and if the murder wasn’t enough, he’s also known for his 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 killer; only wealthy people don’t always get their just deserts.
For his part, 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. To break through his paranoia, Agent 47 is doing something that he hasn’t done before: having a guest spot?
Agent 47 joins the Finn and Friends podcast, under the alias of “thought leader” Tobias Rieper. Eyes are everywhere, and 47 must make sure they don’t see him. To play the Elusive Target mission featuring The Host, players need to have access to the brand-new location: Hawke’s Bay.
