Microids have announced the release date for Blacksad: Under the Skin.

For those unfamiliar, Blacksad is a french comic (though written and drawn by two Spaniards, Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido respectively). The comic is heavily inspired by detective film noir. It takes place in 1950s America, but with anthropomorphic characters.

Developed by Pendulo Studios and YS Interactive, early screenshots from the adventure game seem to indicate the plot is original, but with elements from the first Blacksad comic “Somewhere Within the Shadows.” You can find them below:

Blacksad: Under the Skin will launch September 2019 on Windows PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
