Press release:
Eger, Hungary / Giebelstadt, Germany, 30th March 2022
As of today, users of the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can experience the brand new native next-gen versions of the poultry centred film-noir adventure game “Chicken Police – Paint it RED!“.

And it will not just be a mere port of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Versions, but we did make use of all the nifty gadgets the next-gen consoles have to offer – especially the PlayStation 5.

Right in the feels!

On PlayStation 5, we call it the “Chicken Police PS5 Haptics Integration Experience”! Our goal was to have extended support of the DualSense Controller so that players of the PS5 version experience the gameplay in a completely new way. We added more than 30 unique effects for the DualSense Controller, including the use of adaptive triggers and precise vibrations, to the game and every cutscene in the game comes with unique haptic feedback.

Check out the trailer below to see how cluckin’ awesome the game looks AND feels on PlayStation 5.

And yes, if you already own the PS4 or Xbox One version of the game, you can download the upgraded version to your next-gen console for free!

“Chicken Police – Paint it RED!” is available on Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for USD 19.99 | EUR 19.99 | GBP 15.99
