Despite the delay, we still have question marks above our heads regarding the game, Blacksad: Under The Skin…

Let’s start with an announcement: Microids revealed that the physical, limited edition of the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC collector’s editions, will be delayed. (Didn’t the game itself get delayed once as well?) Instead of a November 5 launch, these versions of the game will be available from November 14, while the digital (PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam…) versions will still come out on the fifth of November. Too bad the Nintendo Switch owners will have to wait.

„The 50s, New York City: Joe Dunn, owner of a boxing club, is found dead. Meanwhile, rising star Bobby Yale, due to take to the ring for the most important fight of his career, has mysteriously disappeared. Sonia Dunn, Joe’s daughter, takes over the gym and must deal with its financial woes. She hires private detective John Blacksad to investigate Yale’s disappearance.

With its anthropomorphic characters and its incredible 1950s feel, Blacksad: Under the Skin delivers all the eerily dark adventure of a detective novel, just like the eponymous comic book series. While embodying detective John Blacksad, players will have to conduct this adventure in their way. Depending on their decisions, players will influence the relationships between Blacksad and the other characters as well as the very end of the investigation,” reads Microids’ description of the game.

The gameplay video doesn’t have a lot of polish. Blacksad’s voice JUST does not fit, there is no ambience voice, the lip-syncing is awful, so there are a lot of problems, and the game is out on November 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC digitally, while the Nintendo Switch port is out on November 28. This will ruin the ambience, but let’s hope it gets fixed in a week…
