Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition Brings Mario-Themed Content to Nintendo Switch 2

IO Interactive, the renowned Danish video game developer, is preparing for the anticipated launch of Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Set to release alongside the Switch 2 hardware this June, this title marks another significant collaboration between IO Interactive and Nintendo, offering a fresh and content-rich experience to both returning assassins and new players. Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition is poised to take advantage of the technical enhancements of the Nintendo Switch 2, promising smooth performance and visually enhanced gameplay tailored for Nintendo’s next-generation console.

To entice fans and collectors, IO Interactive has revealed a collection of special Mario-themed in-game items available with pre-orders.

Players who reserve the Signature Edition through the eShop or select retail partners will gain access to exclusive content that playfully nods to Nintendo’s beloved universe. Pre-order bonuses for Switch 2 owners include the Cerise Suit, a golden wrench, a red mushroom, and the distinct "Fire 47 Suit"—all inspired by classic Mario imagery.

Moreover, retail-exclusive rewards feature the Luigi-inspired "Mansion Suit" and a whimsical Dino Duck, offering Nintendo fans a blend of Hitman’s stealthy style with familiar franchise flair.

This isn’t the first time the Hitman franchise has referenced Mario, but it stands as one of the most robust theme integrations for Nintendo hardware audiences yet. IO Interactive emphasized the team’s enthusiasm for reaching the Nintendo community.

In a recent statement, company representatives highlighted their excitement to "deliver a unique spin on the Hitman universe for Switch 2 players, complete with themed collectibles and outfits celebrating gaming’s most iconic characters." Such remarks underscore IO Interactive’s commitment to including thoughtful crossovers and engaging content for Nintendo’s core audience. In addition to the highly anticipated Hitman release, IO Interactive confirmed plans to bring an all-new 007 game to the Nintendo Switch 2 in the future.

While detailed information about this project remains undisclosed, a teaser trailer is currently available from IO Interactive’s previous announcements, sparking further anticipation for the developer’s roadmap on Nintendo’s new platform. With the Nintendo Switch 2 set to launch this June, Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition anchors an exciting lineup of new titles.

This release not only broadens the appeal of IO Interactive’s critically acclaimed franchise but also celebrates Nintendo’s cultural legacy through a suite of exclusive, fan-friendly content.
