DECAPOLICE is a crime suspense RPG from Level 5 in development for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam, now set for a 2027 launch. It has slipped three times, most recently from 2026, and the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions are no longer planned.
DECAPOLICE has been delayed three times. The crime suspense RPG from Level 5 was first set for 2023, moved to 2025, then 2026, and now launches in 2027. The most recent slip, confirmed during Level 5's Vision 2026 II Dream livestream on Thursday, also cut two platforms: the Switch and PlayStation 4 versions are no longer planned. The release now targets Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Level 5 streamed two Tokyo Game Show trailers on Wednesday for the game. One previews the story, the other the mystery-solving and combat. The game stars rookie detective Harvard Marks, assigned to the Broadstone Police Center's Special Investigation Unit inside a simulator world called Decasim. MARIA of GARNiDELiA performs the theme song, and a television anime is planned.
The two stories frame the same project from different angles. The delay story is about a release rebuilt around current hardware rather than the install base originally announced for. The trailer story is about a project kept visible through a Tokyo Game Show slot after the latest slip, with the trailer set leading on setting and systems rather than a firm release window.
