Let us remind you that The Precinct was preparing for release on August 15, but a month before the cherished date, the premiere was postponed to the fall. The delay was explained by the desire to calibrate the gameplay, eliminate bugs and provide a seamless gaming experience.
Since then, the authors have released a demo version of The Precinct on Steam; 300 thousand people played it during the week of the October “Games to Be” festival. This success boosted the team’s morale, but highlighted the amount of work remaining.
According to the developers, the decision to make another transfer was not easy for them
As it became known, The Precinct will not be released until the end of 2024 – they decided to postpone the release to the first half of 2025. The developers, whose core team consists of only five people, do not have time to prepare the game on time.
“Even if all five of us work as hard and fast as possible, we still won’t be able to release the game we want by the end of this year. She won’t be what you deserve.”explained the creators.
The developers apologized for another postponement and thanked the players for their support of the project
The Precinct will take players back to 1983. The town of Averno is ruled by gangs, and recent graduate of the police academy Nick Cordell Jr. will have to restore order and find out the truth about the death of his father.
The release of The Precinct is expected on PC (Steam, EGS), PS5, Xbox Series X and S. They promise car chases, procedural generation of crimes, “a dose of 80s noir”destructibility, changes in weather and time of day, as well as translation into Russian.
