Developer IO Interactive has today announced that Conor McGregor is entering Hitman World of Assassination as The Disruptor Elusive Target. Players have from June 27, 2024, until July 7, 2024, to find and kill McGregor’s character, simply known as the MMA fighter The Disruptor, in whatever way they see fit.
The Disruptor Elusive Target mission takes place on Hitman WoA‘s Isle of Sgail. There, the MMA fighter is set to fight the CEO of Quantum Leap, a combat sports enthusiast, but the company’s stakeholders don’t think it’s such a great idea. That’s why they’ve hired Agent 47 to take The Disruptor out before things go south and the company’s share price takes a dive. The mission promises multiple rewards for you to earn and use elsewhere in the game, and a set of challenges to complete.
A new elusive threat, a new elusive reward
The Disruptor Elusive Target mission in Hitman WoA is available to all players, whether you own the Free Starter Pack or the full game. However, if you want to get the most out of it and unlock the exclusive Arcade variant of the mission, The Ostentatious, then you’ll need to purchase The Disruptor Pack for $4.99/€4.99/£3.99. This pack includes the following.
- Permanent access to The Ostentatious Arcade level.
- The Disruptor Fur Coat.
- The Disruptor Kettlebell, the Disruptor Resistance Band, and the Disruptor Cane items.
- A set of new cosmetics for the Freelancer Safehouse, including a money pit.
As with every mission in Hitman WoA, how you eliminate the target is up to you. The Isle of Sgail is filled with opportunities, weapons, and disguises. Of course, there is also a set story method for how to kill this character, and it ends with an official MMA fight.
The Ostentatious is a two-level Arcade mission, in which you’ll need to take out The Disruptor as well as a second target while working within the Elusive Target mission ruleset. These rules also apply to The Disruptor Elusive Target mission. If you fail the mission by getting Agent 47 killed after killing the target, then the mission will end, and you won’t be able to restart or get any of the rewards on offer.
This isn’t the first time a celebrity has appeared in Hitman WoA. Earlier this year, Sean Bean’s The Undying Elusive Target returned for the first time since Hitman 3‘s release for players to tactfully murder. I can’t wait to try to take out Conor McGregor as The Disruptor in this mission, especially since there’s a chance to go toe-to-toe with him in the ring.
