Limited Run Games describes the game as follows:

Become Agent 47: the ultimate assassin.

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.

MORE THAN A NUMBER

The story of Absolution puts Agent 47’s character under the spotlight, where his loyalties and his conscience are both put to the test.

TAILORED TO NINTENDO SWITCH

Featuring gyro aiming for ultimate precision, Absolution is fully optimised for Nintendo Switch and tailored for play at home or on the go.

KILLER INSTINCT

Use Instinct Mode to identify targets, predict enemy movements, and highlight points of interest.

CLEAR YOUR PATH

Point Shooting lets you stop time, mark multiple enemies, and eliminate them in a heartbeat.

MASTER THE CRAFT

Find new ways to take out your marks, complete Challenges, and perfect your technique.

PLAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

Choose from 5 different difficulty settings, from easy to the insanely hard Purist mode.

CONTRACTS MODE

Hitman’s unlimited sandbox mode — take on player-designed contracts from other agents around the world, or create and share your own.
