Hitman: Absolution has officially launched on iOS and Android, marking the return of one of the franchise’s most divisive yet distinctive entries. Priced at US$14.99, this polished mobile port is developed by Feral Interactive, the studio known for high-quality adaptations like Alien: Isolation and Total War: Empire.

Originally released in 2012, Hitman: Absolution took the stealth series in a different direction — replacing its signature sandbox assassinations and global missions with a more linear, action-focused story. The game follows Agent 47 as he goes rogue to protect a mysterious young girl tied to The Agency, taking on violent foes across a darker, grindhouse-style narrative. While its emphasis on gunplay over stealth drew criticism at launch, the game has since earned renewed appreciation for its cinematic presentation and focused gameplay.

Feral’s new mobile port revitalises the experience with customisable touch controls, controller and keyboard support, and auto-aim for smoother shooting. Players can also adjust performance through multiple graphics presets, ensuring it runs well on both flagship and mid-range devices. The intuitive Instinct mode helps newcomers identify targets easily, while classic disguises and stealth mechanics preserve the series’ signature feel.

This release offers both veterans and newcomers a chance to re-evaluate Absolution in its most accessible form yet. It may not be the most traditional entry in the Hitman series, but with Feral’s trademark polish and technical optimisation, the mobile version stands as a refined and portable way to experience Agent 47’s most personal mission to date.
