RoboCop FPS Shows Off Gameplay, Coming in June 2023 [IGN]
We get a first look at Peter Weller’s virtual appearance.
Shown off at today’s Nacon Connect showcase, we got a look at the game’s dystopian Detroit from the first-person perspective of RoboCop himself, amid what seems to be gang violence across the city. Combat appears to be a mix of gunplay and melee, with Murphy’s targeting systems used to take out hard-to-hit enemies. We even see an ED-209 robot join the fray.
Aiming for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, RoboCop: Rogue City will “combine first-person shooter gameplay with exploration of Detroit and multiple-choice dialogue,” according to Nacon. The game was first announced last year, and is based on the original 1987 movie – but will tell a brand new story in that setting. It’s being developed by Teyon, which previously created Terminator: Resistance.
RoboCop is an action classic, and one of the best-ever ’80s action movies, and a typically Paul Verhoeven mixture of ultraviolence and dystopian satire. There’s currently a prequel series in development for TV, based on the series’ depiction of Detroit and Omni Consumer Products, the company that goes onto create RoboCop himself.
