During the Level-5 Vision 2023 II presentation, it was revealed that Level-5 will move the release date window for Decapolice to 2025 in order to improve the quality of the game. The showcase announcing the move in its release date showed off concept art for various locations in the world of Decasim.
The reason for the move to a post-2024 release date for Decapolice is due to the fact that the game has large open world with plenty of unique locations to explore, and the development team wishes to create an immersive world for players to explore. In order to accomplish this task, Level-5 decided it would be best to shift the game to sometime after next year.
Decapolice follows Harvard Marks, a prodigy detective at Broadstone Police Department, as he investigates crimes in the virtual world of Decasim. Decasim is a perfect copy of the real world but is filled with the memories of crimes of the past and present. Alongside his friends and companions in the Special Investigations Unit, Harvard will need to investigate these virtual crimes and engage in RPG-like battles to take down criminals whose malicious intent has transformed them into Crime Beasts.

The game was first revealed at the February 2023 Nintendo Direct as a Nintendo Switch game, but it was later revealed to be releasing on Sony consoles as well. Story and gameplay details were given an extended reveal at the Level-5 Vision 2023 Tsuzumi event held in March.
Decapolice will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in 2025. It was originally planned for a 2023 release date.
