Blacksad: Under the Skin’s Teaser Trailer Takes Us Investigating In 1950s New York

Microids shared the latest of the upcoming mystery adventure game Blacksad: Under the Skin with a new teaser trailer that was showcased at Gamescom 2018.

A dark corruption scandal in the heart of the New York City’s underworld for charismatic detective John Blacksad.

The early 50s: Joe Dunn, owner of a boxing club, is found dead. Meanwhile, rising star Robert Yale, due to take to the ring for the most important fight of his career, has mysteriously disappeared.

Sonia Dunn, Joe’s daughter, takes over the club and must deal with its financial woes. She hires private detective John Blacksad to investigate Yale’s disappearance and to find the missing man. This sinister case will take our investigator to the darkest, most dismal depths of New York. With its anthropomorphic characters and its incredible 1950s feel, BLACKSAD: Under the Skin promises all the eerily dark adventure of a detective novel, just like the eponymous comic book series.

Investigations, searches for clues, fights, witness interviews: let your feline instinct guide you as you infiltrate the corrupt world of boxing.

Blacksad: Under the Skin launches in 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
