LEVEL-5 Pushes Back DECAPOLICE to 2027
Publisher LEVEL-5 has delayed its crime suspense RPG DECAPOLICE from 2026 to 2027, according to Gematsu.

LEVEL‑5 has officially postponed the launch of its crime suspense RPG DECAPOLICE, moving the title from its originally slated 2026 window to 2027. The announcement comes via gaming news outlet Gematsu, which reported the change in plans. DECAPOLICE is described as a crime‑focused narrative adventure that leverages LEVEL‑5's signature storytelling approach, blending investigative gameplay with suspenseful moments. The delay marks a shift in the publisher’s release schedule, pushing the highly anticipated title into the following year. While specific details about the new release date have not been disclosed, the move indicates that additional development time is being allocated to ensure the final product meets the studio’s quality standards. Fans of LEVEL‑5's previous titles will be watching for further updates as the 2027 launch window approaches, hoping for a polished experience that lives up to the series' promise of intense, story‑driven gameplay.
The postponement reflects a broader industry trend where developers often adjust timelines to refine gameplay mechanics and narrative elements. As the 2026 window passes without DECAPOLICE's arrival, the gaming community remains optimistic that the extra development time will result in a stronger release. Gematsu's coverage underscores the importance of transparent communication from publishers regarding major title delays, allowing players to plan their upcoming gaming schedules accordingly.
