Aerosoft, Binary Impact and Alchemical Works have announced that Forensics: Crime Scene Detective will launch on 13th July 2026 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S digital stores, with a PS5 Physical version coming as well. Developed in close collaboration with Germany’s State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP), Forensics: Crime Scene Detective challenges players to think methodically, analyse evidence with precision, and uncover the truth behind complex criminal cases. Take a look at all the important materials here: In Forensics: Crime Scene Detective, players investigate apartments, bars, basements, and other locations connected to criminal activity. Using professional forensic equipment, they must secure traces often invisible to the untrained eye, from fingerprints on glassware and blood spatters to digital evidence hidden within mobile devices. From the crime scene, investigations continue into the laboratory, where DNA profiling, ballistic analysis, and digital forensics help transform evidence into conclusions. Every lead must be verified, every hypothesis tested, and every conclusion supported by facts. Forensics: Crime Scene Detective is based on experience reports from real experts from the LKA RLP (State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate) and was developed in close collaboration with the LKA RLP to ensure an authentic portrayal of forensic work.https://www.youtube.com/embed/NZy5Dz0etY0?feature=oembed Cases are inspired by real-world scenarios and emphasise realism, logic, and evidence-driven conclusions over scripted outcomes.
