Blacksad: Under the Skin is a 2019 adventure game developed by Pendulo Studios and published by Microïds. The game is an adaptation of the Spanish comic series Blacksad by Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido. It follows John Blacksad as he investigates the suspicious death of a boxing club owner.
Blacksad: Under the Skin is Pendulo's first game based on a license and its first to use fully 3D graphics. The project began in late 2016 at the suggestion of Microïds, part of the same media conglomerate that owns Blacksad publisher Dargaud.
Blacksad: Under the Skin was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 14 November 2019, although a technical error caused an unfinished version of the game to launch in Europe on 5 November. A Nintendo Switch port of the game was released on 10 December 2019. It received mixed reviews from critics.
