Blacksad is a legendary comic series that’s finally making the jump to video games. While the game may look non-threatening with its talking animals, this isn’t anything you’ll find at Disney. Based heavily on old school noir novels and films, the series follows John Blacksad as he must solve mysteries filled with femme fatales, unexpected twists and danger at every turn. Now, we get a break down of how the team behind the game adaptation, Under the Skin, translated the comic to the interactive medium

Via IGN, we got a video from various developers at Pendul Studios speaking about Under the Skin, specifically about the many international layers to the series (it features an American character in a Spanish published comic series from French authors), as well as how they aimed to recreate both the game’s distinct art style as well as the deep noir tone. Check it out below.

Blacksad: Under the Skin will release on September 26th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. To see the original reveal trailer and details on the game’s collector’s edition, you can check that out here.

Publisher Microids has released a story trailer for the upcoming adaptation of the legendary French comic series, Blacksad: Under the Skin, developed by Pendulo Studios and YS Interactive. The series follows anthropomorphic characters, but tells a straight and gritty story of detective John Blacksad in a 1950s film noir setting.

The trailer, which you can see below, shows that Blacksad is caught up in a case about a boxer and the gym he frequents that is more than it seems, and he finds himself in tight situations with nothing but his fists and trusty revolver. He mulls over whether he should do things the right way, or go down some criminal shortcuts. While it tells us little about how the game plays, Microids says it’s an adventure game where your choices will have an impact on the narrative.

Blacksad: Under the Skin launches September 26^th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. The game will also receive a Collector’s Edition that will include a statue of John Blacksad and a portfolio, which you can also see below.
