Publisher Joystick Ventures and developer The Wild Gentlemen have announced a release date for Chicken Police: Into the HIVE, their new animal-themed film-noir detective adventure game.
Chicken Police: Into the HIVE is launching for Windows PC (via Steam) on November 7th. Console ports across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5 will come sometime later. Check out our preview for the game!
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! is a character-driven, story-rich, film-noir detective adventure in which you must uncover a complex, world-scale conspiracy by gathering clues, interrogating suspects, and solving puzzles.
Sonny and Marty, the Wilderness’s toughest detectives, are about to embark on the biggest case of their lives, which will take them through the insect underworld and force them to face the darkest reaches of their past.
The soul of the game is the characters that bring it to life. There are over 30 deeply fleshed-out characters to talk to, all of them handcrafted, animated, and 100% voice-acted. The Wilderness is a world with a history that goes back thousands of years and is full of fascinating facts and mysteries. Explore the city of Clawville and with it the colorful cultures, traditions, desires, and fears of its anthropomorphic inhabitants.
You’re in for a story that will affect the fate of a whole city, even the whole world, and yet it’s also very intimate, and ‘human’. Murder, betrayal, conspiracy, loss, friendship, and love await you in this dramatic and absurd adventure.
The Wilderness is collapsing! Riots, dubious schemes, political corruption, and mass psychosis! Sonny and Marty, the two famous rooster detectives, must investigate a case that leads them to the Hive, a walled ghetto of insects.
Amidst a mound of misery and oppression, they stumble upon a worldwide conspiracy as they struggle with their own demons. The question is: will they manage to remain ‘human’ in the end? Or will they have to go WILD to set the world straight again?
The ‘World of Wilderness’ is a world and a brand, home to many different stories across multiple ages, and is constantly growing.
