Overview
- Artificial Detective, revealed Thursday during Microsoft's Xbox Partner Preview, is a third-person action-adventure about a robot detective searching for vanished humans.
- Players form an underdog team with a human girl and a military robodog to fight, hack, and outsmart hostile machines while pursuing the case.
- The story takes place in Conglomerate North, a stacked dystopian city that, co-founder Ilya Kuzyuk says, was reshaped by caretaker robots left on their own.
- The project is the first release from Vivix, which includes developers with credits on Modern Warfare 2, Control, and Dead Space.
- An official reveal trailer shows exploration of layered districts, clue hunting, environmental weapon use, and open-ended encounters, with more details still to come.
