Artificial Detective Unleashes Its Decopunk Action on Consoles and PC in 2027

Artificial Detective, a third-person action adventure game set in a decopunk future, is planned for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.

Set in the year AD 2846, the game places players in the role of a robot detective awakening with fragmented memories in a world where humanity has mysteriously vanished. The story unfolds in a sprawling metropolis controlled by rogue machines, where uncovering the truth behind humanity’s disappearance becomes the central objective.

Exploration takes place across the layered districts of Conglomerate North, a city shaped by corporate control and mechanical dominance. Players navigate this environment using a variety of approaches, combining combat, hacking, stealth, and environmental interaction to overcome obstacles and adapt to different encounters.

Companions play a key role in both gameplay and progression. A robotic canine partner and a human survivor raised by machines provide support in combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving, while their development influences available abilities and strategies. Building trust with these allies unlocks new tools and opportunities throughout the journey.

Traversal between districts is handled through a flying streetcar system, opening access to multiple locations filled with hidden paths, encounters, and bosses tied to the overarching mystery. The narrative leans into a character-driven structure, blending action with investigative elements and moments that revisit the protagonist’s past.

With its mix of sandbox-style encounters and a cinematic storyline, Artificial Detective aims to combine flexible gameplay with a stylized vision of a machine-dominated future.
