PLAY THE FIRST MISSION FOR FREE Begin your killer career with the first of Blood Money’s massively replayable sandbox missions, then unlock the complete game with a single in-app purchase. === You are Agent 47 — a trained killer caught in the crosshairs of a rival agency, “The Franchise”. Embark on an daring mission to take out a shadowy conspiracy’s lethal architects, and employ every tool at your disposal to get the job done while keeping a low profile. Infiltrate, execute, and escape undetected. Featuring gameplay improvements inspired by later games in the series, Reprisal is an artful redesign of a stealth-action classic — complete with a fully customisable touchscreen interface and full gamepad support. EXECUTION IS EVERYTHING Become a master of disguise, ingenuity and improvisation. With multiple ways to approach each objective, Blood Money’s sandbox missions encourage experimentation, creativity, and repeat playthroughs. THE ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL Hit hard with an arsenal of upgradable weapons. Perform silent, witness-free kills, or manipulate the environment to engineer tragic “accidents”. The cleaner the hit, the better the payoff. INTRODUCING INSTINCT MODE The devil is in the details. Inspired by later HITMAN games, Instinct Mode highlights targets, guards and mission-critical points of interest for stealthy kills and quick getaways — the hallmarks of a professional assassin. ONE STEP AHEAD An all-new minimap offers situational awareness in real-time, while added alerts warn players when 47 is trespassing or arousing suspicion. COMPLETE CONTROL Tailor the touchscreen controls, connect a gamepad, or utilise full keyboard and mouse support. Whatever your playstyle, complete control is always at your fingertips. === We recommend playing Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal on iOS 16 or later.
