Rogueside has confirmed that Last Night Last Call is in development for Nintendo Switch, positioning the title as a standalone sequel to the studio's 2022 mystery adventure, Best Served Cold.
Set in an alternate-history Europe where the Great War has ended, the new game places players back into the noir-tinged streets of Bukovie as a former private investigator who has attempted to leave that life behind after opening a bar.
The narrative hook is straightforward and character-driven: when an old friend's murder upends the protagonist's quiet new life, they are pulled back into crime, intrigue, and investigation.
Rogueside's announcement emphasizes a mix of conversational interrogation and social gameplay; players must charm, coerce, flatter and flirt with up to 22 unique characters to gather clues and identify the killer.
Gameplay and structure
- 22 unique characters to meet and interrogate across the city of Bukovie.
- Five new murder cases for players to solve using deduction, social interaction, and item-based mechanics such as crafting cocktails.
- Investigative focus that combines dialogue-driven scenes with clue gathering to piece together the truth.
Rogueside described Last Night Last Call as accessible to newcomers while remaining familiar to series fans.
The developer explained that the game is designed to work as a self-contained story for players who have not experienced Best Served Cold, but also includes returning characters that long-time players will recognize and appreciate.
Platform and release
Last Night Last Call will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
Rogueside has released a trailer alongside the announcement; however, the studio has not provided a specific release date or window.
Context and developer background
Rogueside is known for Best Served Cold, which introduced players to Bukovie's moody, character-rich world.
Last Night Last Call continues that setting and the studio's focus on narrative-led mystery gameplay.
Given the confirmed Nintendo Switch release, the game will join the platform's extensive catalogue of narrative and indie titles available via the Nintendo eShop.
As more details become available, including a firm release date and platform-specific features, publishers and players will be able to evaluate how Last Night Last Call builds on Rogueside's established approach to story-driven mystery design.
