Apple drew the short straw when it came to Hitman 3, aka ‘World of Assassination’, the latest game in the Hitman franchise. Though Macs have silently become excellent gaming machines, you still can’t play IO Interactive’s latest games on Apple’s latest machines. With Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal, an iOS / iPad mobile port of the 2006 console game, it feels like an opportunity for the development team to go back and give Apple gamers what they’ve been missing. Given this is technically the fourth Hitman game, this port feels like an odd choice to start with but it makes me hopeful that more could come. If they are of the same quality, I’d be happy to see the whole franchise available on the go.
Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal landed on iOS and iPadOS on November 30th for $14.99 and comes with Universal Purchase. You buy it once on either platform and get access to it on both, with a shared save file via iCloud. It contains the original storyline and all the original levels, with practically no changes to dialogue, tone, and scenes. There are customization options like a graphics toggle to change textures from low to high but not much to really take advantage of the newest iPhone and iPad hardware.
