Bad Guys Games has announced that its gritty open-world crime adventure Crime: 1997 will launch on July 28, 2026 for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with a playable demo scheduled to arrive in early February 2026.

Set in a neon-drenched 1990s metropolis, Crime: 1997 immerses players in a dark and reactive underworld where every decision shapes the story. The game promises deep player-driven choices, shifting faction alliances, and a powerful soundtrack that captures the raw energy of the decade.
The upcoming demo will give players an early chance to explore the streets, test the core mechanics, and experience the crime-filled narrative ahead of the full release. The developers at Bad Guys Games describe the project as their most ambitious title yet, designed to push the open-world genre to new heights.
