Aerosoft, Binary Impact and Alchemical Works are pleased to announce 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:
The Truth is Hidden in the Details
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.
Developed with Real-World Expertise
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.
Cases are inspired by real-world scenarios and emphasise realism, logic, and evidence-driven conclusions over scripted outcomes. Players must carefully evaluate information, validate assumptions, and build their cases using scientific methods and investigative reasoning.
Key Features:
- Realistic Forensic Gameplay: Use authentic tools such as DNA swabs, fingerprint powder, ballistic tracking equipment, and digital analysis tools
- Crime Scene Investigation & Lab Analysis: Carefully search environments for traces, then analyse and connect evidence in the lab
- Evidence-Driven Outcomes: Your conclusions can incriminate suspects, exonerate the innocent, or leave cases unresolved
- Inspired by Real Cases: Missions are based on real-world scenarios and professional forensic methodologies
- Your Instincts Matter: You decide which evidence matters, overlooked clues can change everything
Players can experience Forensics: Crime Scene Detective for the first time during this June’s Steam Next Fest, starting today!
Get ready for the full Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S launch on July 13th 2026!
