As an updated version of IO Interactive’s classic stealth action title, Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal adds Instinct Mode, which indicates points of interest, targets and guards. It’s a great way to seek opportunities and plan kills, utilizing the sandbox to your advantage, and the new mini-map helps to keep track of one’s surroundings. New alerts also help keep players on their toes when rousing suspicion.

It remains to be seen if Reprisal will support the Switch version’s touchscreen like on mobiles or the Joy-Cons. Stay tuned for more details when it goes live. In the meantime, those keen on a more contemporary Hitman title can check out Hitman: World of Assassination and its rogue-lite Freelancer Mode.

Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal will launch for iOS and Android later this month, on November 30, while a Nintendo Switch version will follow sometime this Winter, with a specific release date yet to be confirmed. It can be pre-ordered now on the App Store and the Play Store for $14.99.

As confirmed previously, Blood Money – Reprisal will bring several new enhancements, including a touch screen interface, a new minimap, the addition of Instinct Mode, and several gameplay features and mechanics from later instalments in the Hitman series being retroactively implemented. Full support for controller and keyboard and mouse has also been confirmed.

Get a glimpse of what the reworked re-release will look like in the trailer below.

Developed by Feral Interactive, Reprisal is billed as a “revitalized” version of Blood Money, the fourth mainline Hitman game, which originally released in 2006. The developer describes Reprisal as “a comprehensive reworking” of the original game, which will feature various enhancements, including a new minimap, the addition of Instinct Mode, and several gameplay improvements from later instalments in the series being retroactively implemented.

Reprisal is being developed for iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, and will, as such, feature a fully customizable touchscreen interface, as well as controller support. Keyboard and mouse support has also been confirmed.

Hitman: Blood Money – Reprisal will launch this Fall for iOS and Android devices, and this Winter for the Nintendo Switch.

Announced earlier this month, Company of Heroes Collection is making the jump from PC to the Nintendo Switch with a new control scheme designed for controllers, as well as a bespoke new UI. The remaster is being developed by Feral Interactive, and will feature the full squad-based campaign, along with a customisable Skirmish mode.

Company of Heroes Collection will include the original 2006 strategy game, as well as its two expansions—Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor. While the game has also been ported on to iOS since its release, this collection will be the first time the game is playable on a console, and the second time in general for the franchise. Company of Heroes 3 is the first game in the series to get a console release, having come out on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S earlier this year.

The Switch port for Company of Heroes is being developed by Feral Interactive, and will feature a bespoke UI and control scheme designed to be played on the Nintendo Switch. The game will feature the full squad-based campaign of the original, as well as a customisable Skirmish mode. Check out the trailer for Company of Heroes Collection below.

The original Company of Heroes was first released on PC all the way back in 2006. While the game has since also been ported to iOS, the Company of Heroes Collection will be the first time that it is available on a console. For context, the Company of Heroes franchise made its debut on consoles with Company of Heroes 3: Console Edition released earlier this year.

Thanks to the official announcement, The Lara Croft Collection is now also available to pre-order through the Nintendo eShop, and is priced at $24.99. The collection is a bundle featuring two games: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.

A Nintendo Switch release for the two Lara Croft games being this close was first hinted at back in May when an ESRB rating for a bundle with the two titles popped up on the ratings board’s official website. For context, both Crystal Dynamics and Feral Games had first announced plans to bring the two titles on to the Nintendo Switch all the way back in 2021.
