LEVEL-5 announced detective mystery action RPG DECAPOLICE has been delayed to 2026 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The PC version was announced at the LEVEL-5 Vision 2024: To the World’s Children event.
According to LEVEL-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, the team is still developing systems for DECAPOLICE and preparing to release the game and anime at the same time. LEVEL-5 is “evolving it [DECAPOLICE] into an even more engaging experience,” so more time will be needed to finish the game. As a result, DECAPOLICE has been delayed to 2026, which is three years past its original 2023 release window. MARiA was also confirmed to be the artist singing DECAPOLICE’s theme song.
