IO Interactive bringing Hitman, James Bond to Nintendo Switch 2

Hitman World of Assassination and the upcoming James Bond will release on Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive has revealed. The former launches in June while the latter is in development.

Hitman World of Assassination will be offered with a Signature Edition, which includes the main game plus premium content and extra locations and missions.

Hitman World of Assassination invites players to become the world’s ultimate assassin by bringing together the best of Hitman, Hitman 2, and Hitman 3, including the main campaign, contracts mode, escalations, elusive target arcades, and featured live content.

In the award-winning game, players control master assassin Agent 47 to explore stealth-based sandboxes and take down high-profile targets. Explore intricate, open-ended environments, using disguises, creative tools, and concealment tactics to execute missions. From the glamorous runways of a fashion show in Paris, to the dizzying heights of Dubai’s skyscrapers, or the rapturous crowd of a high-speed race in Miami, operatives will travel all around the world to find their next target. The gameplay emphasizes strategy, improvisation, and replayability, rewarding experimentation and attention to detail.

This greatest hits collection of the Hitman series was previously available on Nintendo Switch systems via cloud streaming, but the Nintendo Switch 2 version will run natively on the console, allowing players to experience Agent 47’s globe-trotting adventures seamlessly offline and on the go.

Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition includes the main campaign, Contracts mode, Escalation, Elusive Target arcades, featured live content, Freelancer game mode, plus all Hitman 2 Expansion Pack & Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack content.
