Well, that day has now arrived, and this special &#8220;Reprisal&#8221; edition comes with some features just for this port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Switch and you&#8217;re a fan of some of the more classic entries in the <em>Hitman<\/em> franchise, this one may be worth a look-in. It released on January 25 and, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/hitman-blood-money-reprisal-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nintendo website<\/a>, this version features &#8220;gameplay improvements inspired by later games in the series,&#8221; including Instinct Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travel the world, see the sights, and hit your marks.

With the <em>Hitman: World of Assassination <\/em>trilogy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-us\/play\/gallery\/leaving-soon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">about to leave Xbox Game Pass<\/a>, <em>Blood Money &#8211; Reprisal<\/em> will keep your thirst for Agent 47 well and truly sated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many consider the 2006 entry one of the best of the series. I only managed to play it for the first time a couple of years ago, and I can see the appeal. Personally, I&#8217;m utterly in love with the recent installments and will be sad to see them exiting Game Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also one of those rare specimens that actually really enjoyed <em>Absolution<\/em>. I understand the criticisms people had, but the fact that it was the first <em>Hitman<\/em> game I actually managed to get all the way through makes it special to me (you never forget your first).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specially &#8220;adapted&#8221; for the console.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":868,"featured_media":455031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[321,985,19110,19111,100],"internal-label":[22871,24255],"invoiceable_action":[23725],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":868,"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","user_nicename":"andrew-heaton"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/hitman-blood-money-reprisal-nintendo-switch.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Andrew Heaton","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/andrew-heaton\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/hitman-blood-money-reprisal-nintendo-switch.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455023"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/868"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455023"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":455061,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455023\/revisions\/455061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455023"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=455023"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=455023"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=455023"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=455023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
