A new exclusive action game for the PS5 has been announced, catching players off guard since there hasn’t been a recent installment in the series since 2005. The game, titled Patlabor: The Case Files, is set to launch on PS5 and PC, although a specific release date has not yet been disclosed.
PS5 Fans Were Not Expecting a New Patlabor Action Game
Developed by Chime Corporation, Patlabor: The Case Files is a 3D action game that will be published by Good Smile Company.
A press release states, “Relive numerous iconic moments from Mobile Police Patlabor in this home console 3D action experience,” (thanks to Gematsu). “Switch between different viewpoints — take on ‘Main Missions’ as Section 2 of the Special Vehicle Unit, or see the story from the perspective of their adversaries in ‘Another Side Missions.’”
The game will showcase more than 20 different Labors, including Ingram, Griffon, and Type Zero models. Additionally, Patlabor: The Case Files will include a Simulation Mode where players can hone their shooting skills and engage in “Labor-versus-Labor” battles.

While an official release date has yet to be announced, it’s anticipated that the game will launch around the same time as the upcoming Patlabor EZY anime.
The franchise has spawned a variety of video games over the years. Its most recent was the PSP title Patlabor: Come Back Mini-Pato. The series also made a cameo appearance in the 2017 Japan-exclusive PS4 game Kyoei Toshi (City Shrouded in Shadow).
