Pixel Noir

Badland Publishing and SWDTech Games have finally provided an update on Pixel Noir, a hard-boiled detective RPG. We now know that it’s due out in April 2023.

We first heard about Pixel Noir way back in 2018. It was originally planned for that year.

Here’s a proper overview with further information:

Indie title Pixel Noir already its Kickstarter goal a few weeks back. SWDTech Games was only seeking $30,000, but that goal was surpassed less than two weeks into the campaign.

Even though Pixel Noir’s Kickstarter has nearly come to a close, a new stretch goal was just reached which will certainly please Nintendo fans. Having secured $50,000, SWDTech Games will be bringing its new project to 3DS.


Pixel Noir is a JRPG-inspired detective game, and true to its title, features a film noir backdrop. SWDTech Games says it’s sort of like a mix between Earthbound and Sin City. The game features turn-based combat, a city to explore, investigation elements, and even a Shovel Knight crossover.
