Exciting news for fans of stealth and strategy — *Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal* is now offering a brand-new 'try before you buy' update. This means players can experience the iconic opening mission of one of the most celebrated entries in the Hitman franchise completely free. IO Interactive may be making headlines with their upcoming title *007: First Light*, but this update gives gamers a perfect opportunity to revisit the game that helped define the studio’s legacy.
Developed by Feral Interactive, *Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal* is a critically acclaimed mobile adaptation of the original classic. It places you in the expertly tailored shoes of Agent 47, where your primary objective is to eliminate key targets — including rival assassins from The Franchise — before they do the same to you. The first mission, set inside a creepy, abandoned funfair, offers a masterclass in level design and player freedom. Longtime fans will instantly recognize it as one of the series’ standout introductions, while newcomers can now explore its depth without any initial financial commitment.
This free trial removes the traditional barrier to entry, allowing players to fully engage with the mission’s complex systems and multiple playstyles. Whether you prefer silent takedowns, explosive distractions, or clever disguises, the opening level showcases the open-ended gameplay that made *Blood Money* a fan favorite. If you enjoy the experience, you can then choose to unlock the full game for $14.99 to continue the journey through all its gripping missions and challenges.
While *Hitman: Blood Money* hardly needs an introduction — having long been regarded by many as the pinnacle of the franchise — this reimagined version on mobile breathes new life into the classic. Some fans even argue it surpasses the more modern entries in the series, thanks to its refined mechanics and unmatched freedom of choice. That said, the open-ended nature of the game can feel overwhelming to those unfamiliar with the series, which makes this try-before-you-buy model not just generous, but strategically smart.
