NOVEMBER 6th, 2025: Feral Interactive has today announced that Hitman: Absolution™ will release on November 13th for Nintendo Switch™.
In a story of corruption and misplaced trust, Hitman: Absolution sees Agent 47, the original assassin, now hunted by the Agency he once served. Using his trademarks of stealth, distraction and disguise, 47 must strike back, leaving no trace other than a trail of bodies in his wake…
Hitman: Absolution’s 20 missions encourage players to experiment with the environment and engineer opportunities to take out targets. With numerous ways to overcome each challenge, Absolution’s gameplay rewards creative thinking and lethal flair. And, with high scores to beat in the pursuit of better mission ratings, 47’s latest outing offers players huge replayability as they seek the perfect hit.
Following 2024’s well-received release of Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal on Nintendo Switch, Hitman: Absolution is the next episode of IOI’s irresistible stealth-action series to release on the platform. With improvements to character models and their surroundings as well as more sophisticated lighting effects, Absolution offers a noticeable visual upgrade over its predecessor. Further quality-of-life improvements, such as optional gyro aiming, ensure that Hitman: Absolution feels perfectly tailored to Nintendo Switch, whether you are playing at home or on the go.

Hitman: Absolution is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 13th, priced at $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99. Pre-orders are now available on the Nintendo eShop.
Alongside today’s news of Hitman: Absolution’s Nintendo Switch release date, Feral is also pleased to reveal that the popular ‘Contracts’ mode will be available as a free post-release update in early 2026. ‘Contracts’ mode will allow players to fulfil contracts designed by other players around the world or create and share their own.
