Hit After Hit — Hitman: Absolution Brings the Heat to iOS & Android this Autumn; Nintendo Switch releases to follow

Branded a traitor and hunted by the Agency he once served, Agent 47 returns to iOS and Android this autumn in Hitman: Absolution.

Building on the success of 2023’s Blood Money — Reprisal, Absolution is the compelling next installment, shining a spotlight on Agent 47’s character and revealing that he is more than just a number.

Stealth meets modernised combat to make ‘going loud’ as satisfying as keeping to the shadows — turning each of Absolution’s 20 missions into an assassin’s playground. Sleek touch controls offer 47’s trademark precision, and, for the full AAA experience on the go, gamepad and keyboard and mouse are fully supported.

Following the mobile release, Hitman: Absolution will arrive on Nintendo Switch in late 2025, with native Switch 2 support to follow in 2026. More details on the Switch versions will be revealed later this year.

So, suit up, straighten your tie and prepare to step back into the highly polished shoes of Agent 47 — pre-order today from the App Store for $14.99 / £9.99 / €12,49 (regional prices may vary), or pre-register on Google Play.
