Lethal Weapon star Gary Busey is to appear in Hitman as a special Elusive Target, Square Enix has announced.

Busey will appear in Sapienza for 7 days from this Thursday, July 21 in a new Elusive Target mission called 'The Wildcard'. As with other Elusive Targets, players will have only one chance to take him down. You can see the back of his head in the image above.

Busey's appearance follows after Square's 'Choose Your Hit' campaign, which asked players to vote for whether they'd rather kill Gary Busey or Gary Cole in-game. Busey won. Or lost, depending on how you look at it.

[The Flash]

Wat?

 

[Chronus]

Such a weird world we live in.

 

[georly]

This would be the funniest thing ever if it was just employees at square enix choosing random celebrities they disliked without getting consent.

Wonder how they wound up w/ him of all people? The only person who said 'yes i'd like to be assassinated in a video game thank you for asking' ?

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Yes. This is a good thing.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Up next: Eric Roberts

 

[Revolutionary]

FUCK I just realized I missed this weekends Elusive

Cool news though

 

[HStallion]

I hope the ways of killing Gary Busey are as insane as the man itself. I want to be able to strangle him to death with a balloon animal or drop an anvil on his head.

 

[jiggles]

Piers Morgan next please

 

[Ray Down]

 

[MUnited83]

Fuck yes they finally announced it.

I'm very surprised he isn't a target for the night version of Sapienza which has a movie set. Would have made perfect sense.

 

[MMaRsu]

Too bad I stopped playing this. Couldve been cool but SE/Io totally soured me on the whole game

 

[jennetics]

I...wha...

okay ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

this is amazing

 

[Tempy]

Thought it said "Gary Busey or Gary Coleman" at first...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

He was in Dr. Dolittle 3.

It was only a matter of time..........

 

[BobTheFork]

I just bought and downloaded Hitman on Friday. Damn game took up most of my weekend. FFS, this is a great game and I totally f'd up the Twins for this weekend. I just could not find a way to get one of them away from the other so I tried to guess and headshot one and run and didn't restart in time.


REALLY looking forward to killing Gary Busy, or trying to.

 

[FHIZ]

Giant Bomb content of the year incoming.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I want Anton Chigurh DLC.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

This is shaping up to be the best Hitman yet, stuff like this only adds to that.

I do hope they do a rerun of the elusive targets at some point though.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

GB's goty discussions got a lot more interesting.

 

[CambriaRising]

Haha what the fuck

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

This reminds me of those weird Saints Row 2 ads https://youtu.be/rw0TSkdh1GU

 

[Goldenroad]

Fine. Guess I'm buying this damn game.

I can't quite wrap my finger about why this is so upsetting

 

[Acquiescence]

That dude is straight up nuts these days.

 

[convo]

Where my Golgo 13 cross-over at Square? Other hitman as targets or competing with one for a target would be kinda cool too.

 

[Ashtar]

Wait you could have killed the pol pot of polls and they chose Gary busey instead? America I'm disappointed

 

[Gurrry]

Alright Brad. Time to get Busey with a toilet.

 

[SapientWolf]

It's a race to kill him before the drugs do.

 

[GuyKazama]

That dude is straight up nuts these days.

Well, he does have brain damage from a motorcycle accident... doesn't mean I won't assassinate him.

 

[Kerotan Frog]

Lmaooooo! I think everyone has secretly wanted "most annoying celebrities" in a game like this. Who's next? Kathy Griffin as a sadistic Madame who promotes human trafficking in her brothel?

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I only just bought the upgrade pack the other day, and now I've got four days to learn the map layout and quirks of Sapienza, because there's no way I'm missing my shot at this target. How very odd.

 

[LiK]

get Kanye next

Not sure why, but PS4 physical version is $38 USD.

 

[Karak]

I think that despite any misteps many of us thought this game had made upon its design decisions being known. This is well and truly a phenomenal title with some excellent longevity.

 

[HStallion]

Can we take out Donald Trump in one of these? It would probably be their best selling DLC ever haha.

 

[Brat-Sampson]

Eh, personally I'd've gone with killing Bill Lumbergh, but the public wants what it wants.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I didn't know this was a thing.

Are they going to do a vote for which of the Chuckle Brothers to kill next?

 

[Off-Kilter]

It's a race to kill him before the drugs do.

lmaooo

Now I'll be disappointed if an overdose isn't a method of assassination

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I didn't know this was a thing.

Are they going to do a vote for which of the Chuckle Brothers to kill next?

Has to be both and it must be made to look like an accident.

 

[Hubb]

This would be the funniest thing ever if it was just employees at square enix choosing random celebrities they disliked without getting consent.

After all the different reality TV things he has been on, I am sure he just wants $.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Amazon Fire TV commercials star Gary Busey

Figured I should fix that a little from the article.

 

[Spaghetti]

This is fucking dumb in the best possible way.

[JadedWriter]

I wonder if at some point during the mission he tries to escape on a motorcycle.

Spoiler

and crashes

 

[PreFire]

Lol so cool. Does he lend his voice?

Can't wait to kill the fucker.

Wonder who will be next lol.

I'd love it to be Walter White's wife, then Jesse.

 

[RustyNails]

Helloo PANTS
