Publisher and developer Level-5 has officially pushed back Decapolice, its sci-fi detective RPG.
The game, which was most recently slated for 2026, is now scheduled for sometime in 2027.
Decapolice was initially announced in 2023 and was due to launch that same year, but the game has since been delayed multiple times.
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino spoke about the game during the company's Vision 2026 broadcast. "Decapolice takes a whole new approach to detective work with cases that unfold in a virtual world," he says.
"Like [Professor Layton], Decapolice is puzzle-based, but tells a very different story. At the heart of the story lies a great mystery, with twists and turns unlike anything we’ve done before."
The game has you investigating crimes within a virtual realm called Decasim, combining detective elements with turn-based RPG style combat and anime-inspired visuals.
"We know it’s taking some time to get the game ready, but we’re working to deliver a truly unique gameplay experience," Hino says. "We’ll have more to share in the future!"
We played the game back in 2023 and came away really impressed; it's a shame it's been delayed once again. Hopefully 2027 is Decapolice's year.
