Chicken Police: Into the Hive slated for Switch

The Wild Gentlemen today confirmed plans to release Chicken Police: Into the Hive on consoles, including Switch. These versions will arrive sometime after the PC edition, which is due out on November 7.

Chicken Police: Into the Hive is a “point-and-cluck” film-noir detective game. It follows the previous title, Chicken Police: Paint it Red, which came to Switch in 2020.

Further details can be found in the following overview:

Sonny Featherland and Marty MacChicken are back at it again, ready to stick their beaks where they don’t belong – although this time their mission might bring them more than just a few ruffled feathers. Players can spread their wings and join the seasoned Chicken Police on what just might be their most harrowing case yet as they head to the slums of Clawville, a dynamic city where different animal species live together in harmony. The horrors that await them in the Hive where insects are forced to live in horrible conditions, however, say otherwise…

Explore the tough streets of Clawville and interrogate over 30 characters in more than 35 locations. Just make sure to keep your wits about you while you peck through lies to avoid getting scrambled. And remember: everybody’s got an angle in this town and if something smells fishy, it probably is.

With the series’ signature blend of dark humor, hard-boiled noir atmosphere, and gripping plot, Chicken Police: Into the HIVE! will keep you on your toes as you navigate Clawville’s dangerous underbelly, whether you’ve played the first game or not. This time around, you can switch between the original black and white color palette and the new technicolor mode whenever you like!

The Wild Gentleman co-founder Bálint Bánk Varga noted today: “We’re very happy to confirm that Chicken Police: Into the Hive will be coming to consoles soon after the PC release! We’re working hard to make sure that our fans who played Chicken Police: Paint it Red on console don’t have to wait much longer before they too can solve the mystery of the Hive.”
