Decapolice moves from Nintendo Switch to Switch 2

Decapolice will no longer be released on Nintendo Switch, according to Level-5. The game is now planned for Nintendo Switch 2 instead.

News about the game was provided during today’s Level-5 Vision presentation. A short 30-second video was shown, and the official website now lists the change in platforms.

Decapolice was announced way back in 2023. The project has suffered a number of delays and as of now doesn’t have a launch window.

Here’s an overview of the game:

A mysterious detective story with investigations in a virtual world.

Decapolice is a crime-suspense RPG from Level-5, developers of the Layton series.

The main character, a rookie detective named Harvard, hunts down criminals in a huge open-world crime-ridden city, travelling back and forth between physical and virtual reality.

Look forward to a mysterious detective story with investigations in virtual space.

DECASIM, a virtual world created from a perfect copy of reality. More than just a simulation, it’s a complete copy of a real city, a forbidden place where memories of every past crime lie dormant. “Clues” found in DECASIM can help unravel the riddles of the real world.

With the help of “DECASIM,” which can reproduce any event occuring in the city, you can find clues to solve cases in the real world. Clip the collected evidence to the “Case Board” and find the solution to crack the case.

When confronting a cornered criminal, it can be possible to appeal to their heart and make them surrender. Sometimes, however, they will turn into “Crime Beasts”, embodiments of malice, and attack. Make use of futuristic gimmicks to incapacitate and arrest them.

Get the latest look at Decapolice below, starting at the 19:26 mark.
