One of the best stealth games is finally releasing on Nintendo Switch in two weeks

The classic stealth title Hitman: Blood Money is finally making its way to Nintendo Switch as Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal later this month.

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal brings all 12 levels from the original 2006 release alongside a whole host of enhancements including a modernized control scheme and a reworked UI that includes a new mini-map. It also features an “Instinct Mode”, inspired by more recent entries in the series like Hitman 3, that allows you to easily highlight enemies and objectives in the environment.

A new trailer shows some of these features in action on Nintendo Switch:

The port is being developed by Feral Interactive, who have an absolutely superb track record when it comes to bringing older games to mobile platforms. They previously released the incredibly impressive iOS and Android port of Alien: Isolation, which saw a feature complete and visually stunning version of the 2014 horror game running on mobile phones.

They also released another version of Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal on iOS and Android on November 30, 2023. As a huge fan of Hitman: Blood Money, which I would easily consider one of the best single-player games ever made, I snapped it up straight away and have been playing through it on my daily commute over the last few months.

I’ve been pretty impressed with a lot of the new features and the overall performance, though the game is undeniably a little harder to play as a result of the touch controls. They’re very well implemented, sure, but nothing quite beats the level of precision you can gain from using a traditional gamepad so I’m definitely looking forward to getting to grips with the Switch port.

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal launches on January 25, 2024 and will be available for $29.99 / £19.99 via the Nintendo Switch eShop. Those who pre-order the game can take advantage of a 15% discount on this price.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
