The wait is almost over—Kwalee and Fallen Tree Games have officially announced that The Precinct, their neon-noir sandbox police game, is launching on May 13, 2025 for PC (Steam & Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Step Into the Badge of Rookie Officer Nick Cordell Jr.
Set in a crime-ridden 1980s American city, The Precinct puts you in the shoes of rookie cop Nick Cordell Jr., patrolling the streets of Averno City. From issuing parking tickets to breaking up street races and stopping full-scale bank heists, every shift is unpredictable in this sandbox-style law enforcement experience.
But there’s more to Averno than meets the eye. As you enforce the law and bring criminals to justice, you’ll also uncover the dark mystery behind your father’s murder in the line of duty.
“We’re so excited to finally share our work with the fans! Their support has been amazing, and we truly appreciate their patience as we worked on The Precinct to deliver the best possible experience. We can’t wait to see their reactions when they finally get to play the game,” said Lewis Boadle, Art Director at Fallen Tree Games.
Fast-Paced Pursuits & High-Stakes Action
Take on crime your way—chase down criminals through alleyways, speed through the city in police car pursuits, or even call in backup. Whether you need squad cars, spike strips, or roadblocks, you’ll have all the tools of the trade at your disposal.
Averno is a living, breathing city, complete with a dynamic day/night cycle, shifting gang power struggles, and ever-changing street crime. From the bustling Financial District to rain-soaked alleyways and neon-lit slums, the game brings the gritty atmosphere of 1980s cop dramas to life.
