Hitman: Blood Money is getting a
IO Interactive and Feral Interactive announced this Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal coming to Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android later this year.
Hitman blood money first launched in 2006 for PlayStation, Xbox and PC, but Revenge is an enhanced version with new features and gameplay improvements inspired by Hitman games released later in the series.
Players will visit iconic locations and track down high-profile targets in what the developer calls a “comprehensive reworking of the stealth-action classic (…), refined for screens big and small.”
Revenge will also include a new minimap and Instinct mode, with mobile editions offering a customizable touchscreen interface in addition to controller and keyboard and mouse support.
The mobile version will be released this fall, while the Switch edition will be released in the winter. Feral Interactive confirmed that the latter will not have a physical edition at launch and can only be purchased digitally via the Nintendo eShop.
The most recent game in the series is Hitman: The World of Murder, that is essentially Hitman 3while also containing some of the best elements of Hitman And Hitman 2, including a main campaign, contract modes, elusive goals, live content and more.
In our review we said: “As a final bow to this trilogy of excellent games, Hitman 3 offers some all-time classic levels and an exciting storyline. While some of these missions aren’t immediately replayable like Sapienza or Miami from previous entries, it still provides ample evidence that Agent 47 is truly at the top of his game.”
The game has received regular updates since its launch in January 2022, but as for the future of the series, Christian Elverdam, co-owner of IO Interactive, said in March this year (via Eurogamer) that next Hitman title is “kind of on hiatus because we’re building a new agent fantasy that’s also taking up a lot of our time.”
Elverdam was referring to the studio’s upcoming James Bond game, called Project 007, which is still in active development. “But of course we come back to the beloved Agent 47. He is still at the heart of this company.”
