Decapolice release date estimate

Decapolice is now scheduled for release in 2026, though we don’t have a smaller window to narrow down which season or month.

At Level 5 Vision in November 2023, the developer confirmed Decapolice was to release in 2025, after the game was originally intended to release in 2023. Evidently development is taking longer than the team envisioned, given the hefty delays.

Is there a Decapolice trailer?

Yes, there’s a Decapolice trailer, and we suggest you watch it to get a better look at the world and what you can expect from it. Honestly, we can’t deny it, we’re excited for this one. We love a good detective game at Pocket Tactics.

Will Decapolice come to the Switch?

Nintendo Switch players are in luck as the RPG is coming to the console. Decapolice is also set to release on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, so you do have a couple of options if you don’t have a Switch. For the time being, those are the only confirmed platforms, but should iOS and Android end up on that list, we’ll let you know.

What is Decapolice?

Decapolice is a crime-suspense RPG in which you step into the shoes of Harvard, a rookie detective who has his work cut out for him in a crime-riddled city. As you can likely guess, this open-world RPG asks you to explore the city and hunt down criminals. Who knows what good-for-nothing thugs you might come across, just make sure you make them realize that crime doesn’t pay.
