Update: Despite the official wording from the official Level-5 livestream, the delay to DECAPOLICE may not be quite as significant as first thought. The game's official Twitter account now claims the PS5, PS4 title has only been pushed back to 2024 instead of «post-2024», as was stated during the showcase.
«During LEVEL5 VISION 2023 II, we announced a change in the release date for DECAPOLICE to 2024. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your patience.»
Original article: First announced to be releasing this at some point year, developer Level-5 has said it's delaying the promising detective RPG DECAPOLICE until at least 2025. The news was shared during the team's livestreamed Vision 2023 showcase, where a voiceover explained it wants to better the world and overall experience.
It said: «To ensure thorough development in both quality and quantity of content, we've decided to take a little more time. As far as Level-5 games go, this title possesses a vast open world of unprecedented size. We aim to build a dense and immersive world, filled with opportunities to play. Various incidents will occur in many different locations. And many of them are full of surprises. This is the kind of gameplay we're aiming for with Decapolice.» It concluded: «The release of Decapolice will be moved to post-2024.»
The delay means Decapolice will release for PS5, PS4 in 2025 at the earliest. How do you react to this news? Post your thoughts in the comments below.
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
They also have some hefty delays for their other games which were all originally planned for 2023, pretty obvious they are trying to do too much at once and spreading their teams thin. They would of been better off focussing on 1-2 games at a time.
That is quite the delay.
If it means a proper comeback for Level-5, I can wait.
In a way, I do think Decapolice looked too good to be true. I hope it doesn't reappear next year looking noticeably scaled back or anything. Just want Level-5 to be back to its best!
There is a translation error. It is delayed to 2024 not beyond.
I think the Switch 2 may factor somewhere into all this (the delayed Level-5 games are also coming to Switch). Releasing early on in the Switch 2's lifespan may give it an interest boost.

It should come as little surprise, but the disappointing launch state of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 didn't stop it from being the best-selling game of November in the USA. New data from Circana confirms the FPS topped the charts last month and instantly become the second best-selling title of 2023, just behind Hogwarts Legacy. Interest in the latest entry made the overall Call of Duty series the second-most-played game on PS5 in November, though Fortnite did claim first place.
