Decapolice will no longer release on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 and will instead launch on Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC.

The crime-suspense RPG from Level-5 was announced for Nintendo Switch in February 2023 with an initial aim for a 2023 release, but that plan was canceled for Switch platforms.

Jenni, Siliconera editor, authored the coverage, including a brief author bio.

The official Decapolice site has been updated to reflect the new platform plan.

Fans on Nintendo platforms express disappointment over the shift, with a suggestion to Switch owners to upgrade to Switch 2 to play the game.

Earlier updates cited multiple delays—target years 2024, 2025, and 2026—highlighting a prolonged development timeline.

No exact 2026 date was given; the team said a more precise date would be announced soon.

The game is not scrapped; Level-5 is repositioning Decapolice for Switch 2, PS5, and PC, with a still-to-be-defined 2026 release window.

Level-5 Vision 2026 Craftsmanship showcased the update, noting the game remains in development, with character art and footage shown in boxes but no new gameplay.

The 2026 release window remains as claimed by the official site, following delays from 2024 and 2025, with a current expectation of a 2026 release.

Siliconera is cited for context on the delay history, with links to Level-5 and Siliconera coverage for further details.

While Switch players can still play Decapolice, it will be on Switch 2 rather than the original Switch, noted alongside Switch 2’s smaller anticipated user base.
