Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal Launches on Nintendo Switch This Winter

IO Interactive and Feral Interactive have officially announced the upcoming release of Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal on Nintendo Switch, scheduled to arrive this winter.

This launch marks a significant milestone, as it will be the first time the acclaimed stealth action title makes its debut on a Nintendo platform, extending its reach to a new audience eager for portable, high-stakes espionage gameplay. First released in 2006, Hitman: Blood Money established itself as a defining chapter in IO Interactive's long-running assassination series.

The narrative follows Agent 47 as he confronts the shadowy organization known as the Franchise, whose conflict with Agent 47’s handlers at the International Contract Agency unfolds across a series of intricate assassination contracts.

Renowned for its rewarding player choice, meticulously designed levels, and emergent replayability, Hitman: Blood Money quickly became a classic among fans of the stealth genre. In partnership with IO Interactive, Feral Interactive has developed Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal, a modern adaptation that brings the original’s iconic gameplay to Nintendo Switch, as well as Android and iOS devices.

The Switch port promises an optimal handheld experience, enabling veteran players to revisit the game’s legendary missions on the go while newcomers will have the opportunity to experience its signature ‘sandbox’ assassination mechanics for the first time. A representative from IO Interactive emphasized the company’s commitment to making the title accessible for both longtime fans and newcomers.

"We want to offer an experience that resonates across generations," the spokesperson noted, highlighting the role of Hitman: Blood Money in laying the foundation for the series’ global popularity. Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal has previously been remastered and released on multiple platforms, but its arrival on the Nintendo Switch stands out as a marquee moment for both the Hitman franchise and Nintendo’s growing library of classic remasters.

The Nintendo eShop will carry the title upon release, giving Switch owners an easy way to access one of the most influential stealth games of the last two decades. As anticipation builds ahead of the winter 2024 launch, IO Interactive and Feral Interactive have released the game’s first announcement trailer, showcasing updated visuals and gameplay tailored for Switch hardware.
