Hitman: Absolution Set to Arrive on Switch

In an exciting announcement for fans of the Hitman franchise, Feral Interactive has confirmed that Hitman: Absolution will be making its debut on both Switch 1 and Switch 2. The much-anticipated release is expected in late 2025 for the first console and TBD in 2026 for the latter.

A Compelling Character in Agent 47

Agent 47, the infamous protagonist of the Hitman series, has often been depicted as a complex character. In Hitman: Absolution, players can expect to dive deeper into his psyche as he navigates a world filled with both shadowy figures and moral dilemmas.

Gameplay Features and Mechanics

“Hitman Absolution features all the series’ hallmarks of stealth, distraction, and disguise, while revealing 47 as a more complicated and thoughtful character, aware of the effects of his actions, for both good and evil.” The game encourages players to explore creative strategies, from stealthy takedowns to chaotic shootouts, ensuring a unique experience with every playthrough.

Diverse Missions and Challenges

The missions in Hitman: Absolution invite exploration and experimentation. Players can engineer opportunities to strike from the shadows or unleash a diverse arsenal of weapons and gadgets. This diversity not only adds to the entertainment value but also allows players to beat high scores and tackle various challenges within each mission.

Critical Reception and Legacy

Upon its initial release in 2012, Hitman: Absolution received a mixed response from critics. While some hailed its innovative gameplay, others felt it strayed too far from the core essence of a ‘true’ Hitman experience. However, many players have come to appreciate it more over time, recognizing it as a solid action game worthy of its place in the franchise.

Mobile Versions Coming Soon

In addition to the Switch ports, Feral Interactive has also announced that the game will be released on iOS and Android platforms, expanding its reach to mobile gamers who enjoy stealth action on the go.
