One of the best stealth games will finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch in two weeks
The classic stealth title Hitman blood money is finally coming to Nintendo Switch Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal later this month.
Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal brings together all 12 levels from the original 2006 release with a host of improvements, including a modernized control scheme and a reworked user interface with a new mini-map. It also features an “Instinct Mode”, inspired by more recent entries in the series, such as Hitman 3, which allows you to easily mark enemies and objectives in the environment.
a new trailer shows some of these features in action on Nintendo Switch:
The port is being developed by Feral Interactive, who have an absolutely stellar track record when it comes to bringing older games to mobile platforms. They previously released the incredibly impressive iOS and Android port Alien: isolation, which featured a complete and visually stunning version of the 2014 horror game on mobile phones.
They also released another version of Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal on iOS and Android on November 30, 2023. As a big fan of Hitman blood moneywhich I would easily consider one of the best single-player games ever made, I immediately picked it up and have been working through it during my daily commute over the past few months.
I’m quite impressed with many of the new features and overall performance, although the game is undeniably a little more difficult to play due to the touch controls. They’re certainly well implemented, but nothing beats the level of precision you can achieve using a traditional gamepad, so I’m definitely looking forward to mastering the Switch port.
Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal launches on January 25, 2024 and will be available for $29.99 / £19.99 via the Nintendo Switch eShop. Those who pre-order the game can benefit from a 15% discount on this price.
