HITMAN World of Assassination – Signature Edition Now Available on Switch 2
IO Interactive has officially launched Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2, marking the franchise’s debut as a native title on the new hardware. Unlike the cloud-based version released for the original Switch, this edition runs directly on the console, ensuring improved performance and responsiveness.
This Signature Edition compiles the full World of Assassination trilogy along with its major expansions, including the Hitman 2 Expansion Pack, Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack, and the Seven Deadly Sins Pack, delivering over 100 hours of stealth gameplay. Players can dive into all modes, including Contracts, Escalations, Elusive Targets, and the Freelancer mode—a roguelike-inspired single-player campaign that adds strategic depth and high replayability.
This version will continue to receive the same regular content updates as other platforms, including new roadmaps, Elusive Targets, and featured challenges. Priced at $59.99, Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition is now available on the Nintendo eShop across North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong.
Fans can revisit IO Interactive’s June 6th IOI Showcase — part of the Summer Game Fest weekend — for a broader look at the game and future updates from IOI and its partners.
My Thoughts
Bringing Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition natively to Switch 2 is a big win for Nintendo’s new system, offering the complete trilogy with all expansions and the Freelancer mode included. It’s not a watered-down cloud version, but the full experience running right on the hardware. And while other publishers spent Summer Game Fest weekend fighting for headlines, Nintendo casually dropped a new console and one of the best stealth trilogies of all time—no hype, just quiet confidence. Some may dismiss it as “just another port,” but this one makes a statement. Running the full trilogy plus all post-launch content natively, with no cloud-streaming crutch, is nothing to scoff at.
