While there isn't a brand-new 2026 game, Hitman: Absolution recently made a comeback with its November 2025 release on the Nintendo Switch, which is likely where you've seen the "new" trailers.

Verdict

The Hitman: Absolution trailer song is a 5/5 masterpiece of audio-visual marketing. It took a joke song and made it terrifying. It defined the aesthetic of the game and remains a standout example of how to use music to build hype. If you are looking to add it to a playlist, search for the specific trailer version or look for "Streets of Cairo dark orchestral cover."
