Poland based Fumi Games with Melbourne based publisher PlaySide Studios have announced the release date for the highly anticipated MOUSE:P.I For Hire.

Releasing March 19th, 2026, Mouse: P.I For Hire is coming to PlayStation 5, Steam, Switch 1 & 2 and Xbox Series.

Mouse: P.I For Hire is described as an action-packed FPS that drawers inspiration from 1930s cartoons with “its black and white rubber hose visuals are drawn by hand, frame by frame, delivering a striking vintage aesthetic.”

Meet Private Investigator Jack Pepper, a former war hero-turned-detective in a world where danger lurks even in the smallest mouse hole. Uncover the truth when a simple missing persons case quickly escalates into a complex web of intrigue, with corruption, kidnapping and murder all on the docket. Investigate the seedy underbelly of Mouseburg, battle heavily armed gangs and crooked cops, and discover clues to reveal the conspiracy buried underneath the surface.

It feels like this game is going all out including the fact that Jack Pepper is voiced by Troy Baker.
