HITMAN World of Assassination’s New Elusive Target The Host Stars Jacksepticeye

HITMAN World of Assassination has a new Elusive Target. The Host stars Seán McLoughlin, better known as Jacksepticeye, as controversial content creator Finn Colton, and it’s playable on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally from today, 29 October, until 25 November 2026.

The mission is free for HITMAN World of Assassination players who have access to Hawke’s Bay, and it launches IO Interactive’s new Season of The Host. Free Demo players can try it too, through a version called The Host Assignment.

Who is Finnvictus?

Finn Colton, known online as Finnvictus, is a former children’s television star turned wealthy content creator, regularly criticised for exploitative contracts that push his employees to their limits. 47’s client is a relative of a creator who disappeared after signing with the Finnvictus team. The evidence points to her murder and to Colton, but his wealth and influence have kept him out of reach.

Colton is secretive and paranoid, and spends most of his time at his remote content complex in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, where cameras livestream every part of his life 24/7. 47’s way in is a guest spot on the Finn and Friends podcast, posing as “thought leader” Tobias Rieper. There are cameras everywhere, so staying unseen is the challenge.

“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!”

Launching the Elusive Target unlocks The Internet Legend Fit, a content creator outfit for 47. Players with an IOI Account who play The Host during its run also get The Hijacker Duck, a rubber duck that releases an EMP charge when remotely activated.
