L.A. Noire PS4 release date set for winter 2017

Rockstar Games has announced that L.A. Noire is heading to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2017.

The critically acclaimed detective thriller will arrive on Sony’s current-generation console with a number of visual enhancements, including improved lighting and cloud effects, high resolution textures, and 1080p resolution. What’s more, the PS4 Pro version of the game will support 4K resolution. 

The PS4 version of L.A. Noire will come with the full game plus all available downloadable content, which adds a number of additional cases.

L.A. Noire originally launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2011, and was lauded for its detailed visuals, which made use of the innovative MotionScan technology to meticulously recreate its cast’s facial expressions.

Set in post-war 1940s during the film noir era, and sees players controlling Cole Phelps, a member of the Los Angeles Police Department who gamers follow as he rises through various desks in the department, starting as a uniformed officer and eventually progressing to Traffic, Homicide, and more. 

L.A. Noire shipped almost five million copies by February 2012, though a sequel as this point looks unlikely due to the folding of developer Team Bondi.
