Hitman: Absolution launches on mobile, polished return

• Hitman: Absolution is now available on iOS and Android
• Experience this polarizing yet unique installment in the franchise
• Agent 47 turns rogue in this finely-tuned mobile port of Absolution

Feral Interactive has a strong track record of delivering remarkable ports of major titles to mobile, from Total War: Empire to the impressive feat of adapting Alien Isolation for smartphones. Their latest challenge, however, might be the most ambitious yet: introducing players to Hitman: Absolution, now on iOS and Android for $14.99 (or regional equivalent).

All jokes aside, Hitman: Absolution remains a divisive chapter in the beloved stealth series. It abandons the globe-trotting espionage of its predecessors for a gritty, grindhouse-inspired tone, following Agent 47 as he goes rogue to safeguard a young girl with mysterious ties to The Agency. Expect neck-snapping action, elaborate disguises, and a gauntlet of despicable adversaries.

By moving away from the traditional open-ended sandbox in favor of more linear, action-focused missions, Absolution initially faced criticism. Yet, since IO Interactive returned the series to its roots, this entry has undergone a critical reevaluation. Feral's new port offers the perfect chance to experience it for yourself.

The Iconic Assassin is Back

Hitman: Absolution certainly carves its own path, and Feral Interactive has polished this mobile adaptation to a shine. It features fully customizable touch controls, support for controllers and keyboards, along with auto-aim and dynamic on-screen prompts.

Concerned about device compatibility? Feral has included multiple graphics presets to ensure smooth performance across a wide range of hardware. For newcomers, Absolution serves as a highly accessible, action-leaning entry point. Its Instinct mode helps identify targets, while the series' signature disguise system allows for seamless infiltration.
