Feral Interactive is Bringing Hitman: Blood Money to Android This Autumn

droidgamers.com:

Unpack your sniper rifle and garrote, folks, as we have some exciting news for you. Feral Interactive, the team behind the excellent mobile ports of XCOM 2, Rome: Total War, and Grid Autosport is at it again. This time, it’s the murderous classic, Hitman: Blood Money.

The port looks excellent in the tweet we’ve seen so far. It showcases Agent 47 killing his victims in a wide variety of ways, including with a knife, sniper rifle, and simply blowing them up. He walks away looking all cool.

Hitman: Blood Money is the fourth entry in the series, and one of the highlights. It launched all the way back in 2006 for PC, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360, and almost certainly inspired the plot of the John Wick series.

You once again take on the role of Agent 47 as you strive to bring down the Franchise, a rival hitman organisation that’s threatening your employer, the International Contract Agency.

Agent 47 is a clone, you see, and the rival corporation wants the technology to create murderous monsters of their own. Cue a murderous rampage by Agent 47 to put a stop to them once and for all.

In a tweet announcing the port, Feral Interactive states that Hitman: Blood Money on Android has “new features and gameplay improvements inspired by later Hitman games:.

Obviously, we can expect some HD polish, given that the original launched during the SD generation, but what else is new? Well, quite a lot judging from that teaser trailer.

Comparing some footage from the original to the teaser, the visuals are a lot sharper, the lighting effects seem to have had a complete overhaul, and the character tagging system in crowds appears to be new. I didn’t play the original though.

Feral followed up in a comment on the twee that pre-orders will go live
