A New Crime Game from the Law's Perspective

The anticipation for GTA 6 is enormous, with expectations that it could become the largest video game release ever. However, as updates for Grand Theft Auto 5 continue and the release date for Rockstar's next masterpiece remains a mystery, gamers are eager for something to fill the void. Enter American Fugitive from Fallen Tree Games, which was a nostalgic nod to the classic Grand Theft Auto series. Now, The Precinct is stepping into the crime genre from an entirely new perspective, allowing players to experience the world of law enforcement. After its massive success at Steam Next Fest, The Precinct finally has an official release date.

Set in the 1980s on the East Coast, you take on the role of Nick Cordell Jr., a rookie cop determined to live up to the legacy of his father, a well-respected officer murdered under mysterious circumstances. The game’s semi-top-down view, combined with its gritty police drama vibe, creates a unique crime-solving experience. Here, you find yourself on the right side of the law, at least at first. Patrol the streets, stop criminal activities, hunt down notorious gangsters, and chase down suspects on foot or in your patrol car. As a police officer, you have access to backup, roadblocks, and, when necessary, your weapon to restore order.

However, as you delve deeper into Averno City, The Precinct's sprawling open world begins to complicate matters. The lines between good and bad become less clear, forcing you to make tough decisions about right and wrong. 

The demo, which debuted at Steam Next Fest, was downloaded over 100,000 times, making it one of the most highly anticipated upcoming PC games. Now, fans don’t have to wait much longer as *The Precinct* is set for release on May 13. You can add it to your wishlist for easy access.

And for those who are still eagerly awaiting GTA 6, don’t forget to stay updated on its release date. In the meantime, why not explore some of the best open-world games available on PC right now?
