The Precinct immerses players in a captivating experience as they navigate the richly detailed early-1980s Averno City — a single-player, top-down, action sandbox police game.

Within this neon-noir action sandbox, where gangs reign over the streets and corruption taints the very fabric of the city, players will embark on a relentless quest to uncover the truth. Engaging in thrilling vehicle chases through destructible environments, they will attempt to restore order and bring justice to the troubled metropolis.

You are Officer Nick Cordell, Jr. As a rookie beat cop fresh out of the Academy, you're on the front line of defence for Averno's citizens. Dive into a world of thrilling car chases, procedurally-generated crimes, and a healthy dose of 1980s noir as you protect the populace and solve the mystery of your father's murder in the line of duty. 

Take to the Streets 

A love letter to classic cop movies, The Precinct combines police sim detail with action sandbox spectacle. Patrol the streets and respond to callouts to fight criminals petty and powerful. Choose your own tactics in thrilling chases and shootouts. Feel the shifting power struggles of Averno's gangs in a living city full of procedurally generated crimes, from parking infractions to bank heists, street racing to drug deals. 

Originally planned for August 2024, delayed until Fall 2024, pushed until the first half of 2025, publisher Kwalee and developer Fallen Tree Games are pleased to announce that The Precinct will release for PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 13, 2025.
