  "account": "Senior level designer Martin Ansdal disclosed how YouTuber Jacksepticeye, known professionally as Seán William McLoughlin, was brought on board for the Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination. Ansdal stated that Jacksepticeye instantly granted the team carte blanche to portray his character, Finn Colton, as evil as possible. The senior designer added that they aimed to mirror Jacksepticeye's energy and fully commit to the role. The developer highlighted that the YouTuber seemed genuinely excited about starring in the game, which is a franchise he grew up with, and allowed the team to push the boundaries of his character's evil persona. Jacksepticeye requested that the team go all out in designing his signature eliminations. During the development process, Ansdal mentioned that the team visited the Brighton office early to collaborate with Jacksepticeye, who provided extensive input on mission design. The senior designer also revealed that Jacksepticeye added a unique touch by voicing a child while watching his old audition tapes, a scene that required Jacksepticeye to voice act as a child, which was a humorous yet eerie experience. Ansdal expressed his admiration for Jacksepticeye's performance, considering that the YouTuber is not a traditional actor, and praised his affability and charm, which were instrumental in creating an authentic script for the mission.",
