Decapolice Launch Moves to Switch 2, PS5, PC; Original Switch Release Axed
  • 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.
