Pixel Noir brings darkness to the Switch in 2023

I think this was confirmed as a Switch release a few years back, but publisher Badland has confirmed a 2023 release date for the old-school Kickstarted adventure RPG that has taken its sweet time in arriving, but all for the good. 

Pixel Noir is a hard-boiled detective RPG from SWD Tech set inside a sprawling metropolis, where gangs roam free and coffee cures all. Uncover the truth and recover your sanity as you unravel Pinnacle City’s darkest secrets.


As a dingy dick, something bad happened one night in a hospital, something that cost you your career as a police detective, your sanity, and the life of your partner. Ten years later, you have a chance to set things right. Are the hallucinations that haunt you a clue to what happened that fateful night?

  • Solve mysteries as Pinnacle City’s cheapest Private Eye! From missing pets to murder investigations, your detective skills will earn you either fortune or face punches.
  • Explore Pinnacle City, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, littered with black market trade, grifters, and players of all kinds.
  • Fight enemies in turn-based combat and unleash devastating combo attacks by teaming up with others in your entourage!
  • Tune up your gear! Upgrade weapons with modifications to fit your play style.
