The noir-style cartoon detective FPS Mouse: P.I. for Hire was scheduled to arrive on Switch 2 next month, but it seems there’s been a slight delay.
Instead of its 19th March 2026 release, this title will launch for Nintendo’s new hybrid system (and other platforms) on 16th April 2026. In a new notice on social media, Fumi Games & PlaySide Studios says it wants to deliver the best game possible and just needs a few more weeks:
“As we approach the final stages of development, we want to ensure we are taking the extra time and care needed to make Mouse: P.I. for Hire an experience to remember. We remain unwavering in our goal to deliver you the best game we can, and that will take just an extra few weeks.”
The same update mentions how the team is excited to share “more of the game” with followers in the lead-up to the release, so expect more updates soon! This isn’t actually the first time Mouse: P.I. for Hire has been delayed. It also follows the announcement of the Switch 2 version in October last year.
You can find out a little more about this game in our previous story here on Nintendo Life and an official developer “deep dive” documentary below. When it arrives, players can apparently expect “fast-paced FPS combat” and a thrilling single-player campaign with over 20 levels.
