Hitman's Switch 2 Pre-Order Trailer Shows Off Mario-Inspired Outfits And Goodies

Ok, the mansion suit looks pretty cool. I haven't played much of the Hitman series but I might pick this one up and see what it's all about.

Mario and Luigi were already in the game though... sort of.

"Mansion" suit, I see what they did there!

As of the Mario references in the game weren't obvious enough. . .

Yeah had to bite on this one. This game is delightful and I definitely want it portably.

I guess it better fits the duck thing than a Bob-omb would but Mechakoopas stand out as like a weirdly obscure reference compared to the rest of this.

Making a Luigi suit in an assassination game is an interesting choice

Having never played a Hitman game before, I was relieved to learn "Fire 47 Suit" is a reference to him being Agent 47, and not an obsequious reference to a different 47th person.

I wish I could get this game. But since it’s a 60gb+ download, after 3 games my Switch will be full. And there’s only 256gb express cards as well. What a ridiculous situation. I’m confused that nobody else is talking about this issue much.

Pfff this game is a must have for me on the NS2.

Gonna look for a 2TB storage card (sale) very quick.
Is there a list which ones are compatible with the switch 2 in terms of speed?

@mr12calvin You can snag up to 1TB microSD Express cards

It's the Italian Mafia! 🪦
Look out he has a mushroom! 🍄 💣

I would be nice to have World of Assassination in portable form, but I've already played through it too many times to want to do it again. Cross-progression would be very, very welcome for this one.

@PikminMarioKirby They really did, didn't they?

@jezepy and calling it the Mansion Suit no less. A tiny added layer to the reference.

@mr12calvin A lot of people áre talking about it though. This site has an article about it too. And yeah, it's weird. They should've gone with at least double the storage right off the bat.

This is possibly going to be the most common thing I say this generation but...

if it's on the cart, I'll pick it up. If not, I'll play something else.

I legit thought that was Jesse "The Body" Ventura in those screenshots...

@jezepy Let's be honest, out of the two, Luigi has the most sinister death stare as evidenced in MK8. Well suited to this game.

Agent 47 really tries his best to blend in, doesn’t he?

I'll be getting this for sure. It's another one coming as a game key card though for those wondering.

I hope they don't delay this game.
I don't want them to deny me the chance to depose corrupt CEO's on the switch 2 as Luigi!

This is the Hitman that's sort of "always online" isn't it?

I think you can play single player offline but you don't get progression unlocks, leaderboards and challenge modes if you're not online, and online and offline saves were incompatible with each other.

Don't know if they've changed any of that for the Switch version.

Will this one still require Internet connection to play it?

Edit: Let me rephrase it, will it still require Internet to have access to most of the game's functionality. Remember on PC it was so limited if you weren't connected to the servers.

I don't really care for those cosmetics, but I'd love to get this game ... just will need to be a proper physical edition. Tell me it's one of those key cards bs and I'll have to skip ...

@The-Chosen-one Only Express micro sd card are compatible with the Switch 2,and the largest that anyone makes currently is 1TB

I'll get it eventually but not on the launch window. I'll be busy playing Yakuza 0 - Cyberpunk 2077 and Zelda. Of course Mario Kart will be there too

Hitman is great, haven’t played this one.
But, no real physical, no sale! Key card doesn’t count!

The memes for this are going to be epic.

@Coversnail

Thanks for that! Will check it out.

Game Key sh*t = No Buy

If I could transfer my save data from my Xbox, then I would buy it again. But if that's not the case, I can't justify to lose over 100hrs of playtime.

I guess it's better than nothing, but these honestly look pretty low-effort. Fortunately that isn't going to detract from the fact that the game is still tremendous.

I can't wait to replay this on Switch 2 with the new pro controller! I've played a lot of these missions dozens of times, but they never get old

Agent 47 with a moustache looks cursed, but in a good way.

Oh goodness... erm I'm ok, thanks.

@Ralizah They are in the making but they will cost like 250 bucks. Crazy situation.
Everything about the Switch 2 becomes totally unaffordable this way…

@The-Chosen-one only Micro SD Express card currently available is 256gb. That’s what makes this so insane. Saw they’re going to make a 1T card but it will be like 250 bucks

I just got it on PS5 for £15 from Argos, what a bargain. Definitely won't be tempted by the switch version now

@mr12calvin for me it's not a problem because I only ever have a few games installed at one time. Usually just my "current" game. Then I just remove it, I can always reinstall if I want to but I don't think I ever have. I would be too paranoid to spend a fortune on an SD card, I'd be too worried that it would get corrupted and I'd lose a tonne of money

@mr12calvin The price will likely come down over the lifetime of the system. Bigger MicroSD cards used to be way more expensive as well.

@mr12calvin
There's 512GB and 1TB microSD Express cards also. I own a 1TB Lexar mSDex with 900 MB/s read speeds and 600 MB/s write speeds. I got it for $173. Price then went to $187 (still a discount from the $199 MSRP). It's temporarily out of stock on Amazon but comes back in stock every week or so.

Gamestop also has 512GB and 1TB mSDex cards which are 800 MB/s. Those are in stock right now. $190 for the 1TB.

Good to see we're continuing the tradition of Nintendo consoles launching with a third-party port with added Mario or Zelda costumes.

Honestly one of my favourite (PC) games of all time, so will definitely be picking this up. Real shame they won't release the full game on a cartridge..

Hmph... jump (suit) man.

@JaxonH Oh I see. 512GB isn’t enough though. Split Fiction is already 73GB…
This is a serious issue making gaming seriously expensive

If Hitman can do it in 2025, then why couldn't Monster Hunter Rise? ☹️
