Hitman: Absolution coming to Nintendo Switch this year, Switch 2 support in 2026

Feral Interactive unveiled its latest Nintendo Switch port today, which is Hitman: Absolution. A release is planned for late 2025.

Hitman: Absolution first debuted in 2012 and has not landed on a Nintendo platform previously. Feral says the game will have native Nintendo Switch 2 support in 2026.

Here’s an overview of the game:

When the execution of a contract to kill his old handler unexpectedly puts the fate of a teenage girl in his hands, Agent 47 must decide where his loyalties lie. Branded an enemy by the agency he once served and hunted by his old colleagues, 47 must use all his skills and tradecraft to evade his former employer’s agents and eliminate the corruption in its ranks.

Hitman: Absolution is the sophisticated follow-up to Feral’s 2024 release of Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal. It 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.

Absolution’s missions invite players to explore and experiment as they stalk their targets, engineering opportunities to strike from the shadows or, when the bullets fly, unleashing an arsenal of weapons, gadgets and anything else that may come to hand. Whether executing a silent hit or creating mayhem, players have no end of inventive ways to approach their targets, with opportunities to beat their high scores and meet each mission’s multiple Challenges.

Take a look at a trailer for the title below.
