The release of Mouse: P.I. For Hire, a visually captivating black-and-white shooter reminiscent of classic Disney animation, has been postponed. Originally set for late 2025, the game is now expected to debut in early 2026.

Fumi Games, the developer, along with publisher PlaySide, announced this change in a statement on social media, aiming to inform fans before the anticipated announcement at this week’s Galaxies Gaming Showcase. The adjusted timeline was communicated to prevent any potential letdown.

“We wanted to inform you that we have decided to shift the launch of Mouse: P.I. For Hire from 2025 to early 2026,” stated the teams at Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire marks the debut project of Polish studio Fumi Games. Its unique artistic style has already gained attention during various prominent showcases, including the recent Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase and the Xbox Partner Preview.

Featuring the voice of Troy Baker as the cigar-smoking Detective Peppers, the game combines his quirky antics with a vibrant orchestral soundtrack and lively cartoonish animation. The visual appeal is striking and promises an engaging experience.
