Agent 47, this is Diana, I have some important information for you. Today – that’s 27th August – developer IO Interactive is releasing the full Hitman World of Assassination experience on iPhone and iPad. And, this release includes new touch controls as well as controller support. Have you got all that, 47?
Yes, for any of you Apple-loving lot, you will now be able to participate in a spot of globetrotting with everyone’s favourite barcoded assassin on your mobile devices. Thanks to World of Assassination grouping together Hitman 1, 2 and 3, this means you zip from the Parisian runway to the heady heights of Dubai all from the palm of your hand.
The Hitman team says while every location and mission is available at launch, World of Assassination’s Freelancer mode will subsequently arrive on the iPhone and iPad version on an unspecified date later this year, as part of an update.
The full game retails for £69.99 on iPhone and iPad, though if you prefer you will also be able to try your hand at individual locations for £2.99 each. Compatible devices are as follows: iPhone 16 models; iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max; iPad Pro and iPad Air (M1 chip or later); iPad mini (A17 Pro).
Interested but not sure you want to fully commit to World of Assassination just yet? You can try a little taster before you take the plunge, as the ICA Facility training mission will be available for free, along with the Sebastian Principle Escalation in Dubai.
