Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal is targeting mobile and Switch later this year

Feral Interactive have announced that they are bringing Hitman: Blood Money back to gamers, with the new Reprisal edition. The game is the forth of the original five games, which seems like an odd one to start with, but it was also the one people loved the most. Check out the teaser trailer for it below.

The game is coming to mobile devices this Spring, with the Switch version coming sometime over the Summer months, there is no exact date. Here is the description of the title as provided by the developers:

This is a sparkling version of the stealth classic Hitman: Blood Money for new platforms, complete with a suite of improvements that deliver powerful new features such as Instinct Mode, an ever-present minimap, and a wide array of gameplay improvements inspired by later games in the series.

Reprisal’s twelve sandbox missions offer endless opportunities to experiment, with many different routes to success. From the refined surroundings of the Paris opera to the heaving streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras, how Agent 47 executes his commissions is up to the player. Whether it’s a very public execution, a silent kill with no witnesses or an “unfortunate accident”, a generous armoury of tools, weapons, disguises and blunt objects are always on-hand to help with decision making…

Given that Blood Money fed right from Contracts, the game before it, hopefully the team can bring that game across as well, so the full story can be enjoyed. For Switch owners, this is the second Hitman experience, as the World of Assassination Trilogy is there via Cloud and for Nintendo fans, this is the second game in the series to be cloudless on a Nintendo platform.

Mobile players of course have enjoyed spin-off titles like Hitman Go, Hitman: Sniper and Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, but this marks the first time a mainline entry has been released. We have screenshots of the mobile version below.
