Level-5 has released new trailers for two of its upcoming projects, Decapolice and Snack World Reloaded, and confirmed both titles for a 2027 launch on Nintendo Switch 2.
Decapolice—initially announced in 2023—has experienced multiple delays since its reveal, while development on Snack World Reloaded has reportedly progressed with fewer public setbacks.
In parallel news, Level-5 also announced a Professor Layton and the Curious Village Remake.
Decapolice: a crime-focused virtual world
The Decapolice trailer expands on the game’s central premise: DECASIM, a virtual environment that reproduces a real city in precise detail.
Level-5 explains that DECASIM is intended as a forbidden, full-scale copy of reality where the traces of past crimes remain preserved.
According to the studio, clues recovered inside DECASIM can be used to help solve real-world cases.
Gameplay footage in the trailer shows investigative systems built around evidence collection and reconstruction.
Players collect and pin evidence to a “Case Board” to reconstruct events and identify suspects.
When suspects are cornered, the game’s mechanics allow for non-lethal resolution—some perpetrators will surrender when confronted, while others transform into hostile entities labeled “Crime Beasts.” The trailer highlights the use of futuristic gadgets and tactical tools to incapacitate and apprehend these threats.
Snack World Reloaded: visual upgrades and a new playable mode
Snack World Reloaded’s new trailer emphasizes visual enhancements and refined controls.
Level-5 positions the updated presentation as diorama-like, with improved graphics intended to make environments feel handcrafted.
The studio also confirms a new playable mode that will let users step into the role of Chup, the protagonist from the Snack World anime, expanding the series’ single-player options.
Platform and release window
Both Decapolice and Snack World Reloaded are slated for release in 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2.
Level-5 has shared the trailers publicly; fans and media can view them through official Level-5 channels.
No specific release dates, pricing, or eShop details have been announced yet.
