The Precinct is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Fallen Tree Games and published by Kwalee. It takes inspiration from the early Grand Theft Auto games with a top-down perspective. Unlike American Fugitive, the protagonist is a police officer.
Gameplay
[edit]Set in the same universe as American Fugitive, the game takes place in Averno City (a fictional place inspired by New York City) during 1983, the player controls Nick Cordell Jr., the son of late police chief Nick Cordell Sr.[1][2] Starting equipment includes a 6-shot .38 revolver, a baton, and a taser. Similar to the Police Quest series, the player has to follow police procedures such as writing tickets for improperly parked vehicles, only using force when necessary, reading a suspect's Miranda rights, and booking arrested suspects at the station. Players can also call backup and use helicopters.[3]
Development
[edit]Originally slated for an August 15, 2024 release,[4] The Precinct was delayed to a Fall 2024 release due to time constraints.[5] As part of Steam's October 2024 Next Fest, a demo was released on October 14.[6] It was again pushed back to a proposed 2025 release.[7]
