Hitman: Absolution – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition physical release confirmed

Hitman: Absolution – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will have a physical release. That’s according to Limited Run Games, who made the announcement today.

This is the entire game on the cartridge. Not only are you getting the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, but also the Switch 1 version which works on that console.

The game is initially launching as a digital download tomorrow, October 22. Below is an official overview:

Branded a traitor and hunted by the Agency he once served, Agent 47 returns to Nintendo Switch in lethal form.

Stalk your targets through elaborate environments designed to reward both quick thinking and patient planning. Strike silently from the shadows, or let your silverballers do the talking — whatever your approach, each of Absolution’s 20 missions is a contract killer’s happy hunting ground that invites exploration, experimentation and improvisation.

Key Features

• The story of Absolution puts Agent 47’s character under the spotlight, where his loyalties and his conscience are both put to the test.
• Featuring gyro aiming for ultimate precision, Absolution is fully optimised for Nintendo Switch and tailored for play at home or on the go.
• Use Instinct Mode to identify targets, predict enemy movements, and highlight points of interest.
• Point Shooting lets you stop time, mark multiple enemies, and eliminate them in a heartbeat.
• Find new ways to take out your marks, complete Challenges, and perfect your technique.
• Choose from 5 different difficulty settings, from easy to the insanely hard Purist mode.
• Hitman’s unlimited sandbox mode — take on player-designed contracts from other agents around the world, or create and share your own.
