>Adult Swim is stacking up the Summer as *Psi Cops* has announced it will be making its official debut in the United States very soon! Adult Swim has been firing on all cylinders this year so far as each new series has been a hit with fans, and now fans in the United States will finally get their chance to check out an animated series that's been a big hit in Canada for the past year. *Psi Cops* is an original animated series that debuted with Adult Swim Canada last Summer (their very first), and now Adult Swim has announced that the series will be getting its United States premiere this July. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4PnVAggtjE >*Psi Cops* will be making its Adult Swim premiere in the United States on Sunday, July 7th at midnight ET/PT. The quarter-hour animated comedy will be slotting right into the Sunday evening shenanigans and currently has 24 episodes under its belt as of the first season of the series. To get the first look at what to expect from the Adult Swim animated original, you can check out the special preview clip for *Psi Cops* in the video above along with the first key visual for the series below. >*Psi Cops* was created by and stars Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen as Kydd and Felixx (Batchelor and Nielson, respectively) who are described as a duo who "join a rag-tag group of experts at the secret agency Psi Cops to investigate alleged sightings of aliens, ghosts, demons, and other hocus-pocus nonsense." Batchelor and Nielson serve as executive producers for the animated series alongside Robert Kirkman (*Invincible*, *The Walking Dead*) Chris Ferguson (*Little Fish)*, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (*The Bikeriders*), David Alpert (*Invincible*, *The Walking Dead*), and Catherine Winder (*Invincible*, *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*). >The series was originally commissioned by Corus Entertainment, produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and Oddfellows Labs, and is distributed by Skybound Galactic, a division of Skybound Entertainment. They further hype up *Psi Cops* as such, "Witches, swamp hillbillies, and snake gods. What do these all have in common? Fancy hats! Well yes, but alongside aliens and old men, voodoo dolls and the ever-important debate of hamburgers vs. tacos, you'll find them in Adult Swim Canada's first original animated series, *Psi Cops*."

> Warner Bros. Discovery appears to have backed down from its plans to delist more than a dozen games published by its Adult Swim Games label from Steam and digital console stores. WBD now plans to transfer ownership of some of those games back to the indie devs that made them, according to developers who would have been affected by the planned delistings. > > Plans to delist the Adult Swim Games catalog from digital stores — or “retire” them, as Warner Bros. Discovery had worded it — became public in March and were widely criticized as a cold corporate move that could make some indie games unavailable to purchase. That strong criticism appears to have played a part in WBD’s revised plan to transfer ownership of the games back to their creators. > > News of WBD’s policy reversal was first revealed by developer Owen Deery, who is behind puzzle-adventure game *Small Radios Big Televisions*, which was originally published by Adult Swim Games in 2016. (Deery also broke the news of WBD’s original plan to “retire” Adult Swim titles back in March.) On the social media platform X, Deery wrote that *Small Radios Big Televisions* “will not be ‘retired’,” despite previous communication from WBD that it would be. “Ownership and store listings will return to me,” Deery said. > > Developer Landon Podbielski said that his multiplayer platform shooter *Duck Game*, another Adult Swim Games-published release threatened with delisting, will also be reverted to its creator. “The game is being returned to Corptron along with its store pages on all platforms,” Podbielski said on X. “It’s not going anywhere.” > > Other developers whose games were published by Adult Swim Games confirmed to Polygon that they’ve received similar communication from Warner Bros. Discovery, and will have their titles transferred back to them rather than be delisted. WBD told developers it “heard the feedback and concerns regarding the retirement of titles published under Adult Swim Games,” one developer said in an email to Polygon. > > But other developers who had their work published by Adult Swim Games say they’re still waiting to hear from Warner Bros. Discovery. Two developers Polygon spoke to say they never received the original messaging from WBD back in March, and still haven’t heard from the company, despite multiple attempts to contact representatives there. Polygon has reached out to Warner Bros. Discovery for comment and will update when the company responds.
