Hitman: Absolution Nintendo Switch release date revealed with new trailer

Hitman: Absolution, which was previously announced for Nintendo Switch, picked up its release date today. Feral Interactive is planning it for November 13, 2025.

Hitman: Absolution was previously confirmed for Nintendo Switch during the summer. We knew it was planned for this year, but specific timing was vague until now.

Here’s some information about the title:

Betrayed, hunted and honour-bound to protect a teenage girl with a dangerous secret, the ultimate assassin makes a deadly return to the Nintendo handheld. With a new list of targets, over 20 missions in which to eliminate them, and a new set of tricks up his sleeve, the barcoded killer’s stealth-action skills will be put to the test once more.

As with the recent mobile release, you can also expect Contracts Mode to arrive in a post-release update in 2026, when you’ll be able to set challenges and compete for high scores with your friends across all three platforms.
