Sequel to RoboCop: Rogue City Announced

Fans of classic 80s sci-fi get ready—RoboCop: Rogue City is returning with an exciting sequel slated for release in summer 2025. The new game, titled RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, will take players on a thrilling journey through OmniTower, a colossal housing complex created by Omni Consumer Products. As RoboCop, you’ll battle your way to the top, facing an array of advanced technological foes trying to stand in your way.

Originally released in 2023 by Teyon, the same team behind Terminator: Resistance, RoboCop: Rogue City saw players stepping into the armored boots of Alex Murphy, the iconic cyborg lawman brought back to life. With Peter Weller reprising his beloved role, the game’s storyline filled the narrative gap between RoboCop’s second and third films. The gameplay threw players into the gritty, crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit, where they could uphold the law with either raw firepower or a more tactical, diplomatic approach.

The game quickly captured the hearts of longtime RoboCop fans, attracting a player base of 435,000 just a couple of weeks after its November 2023 release. It earned praise for immersing players in the experience of being a nearly invincible cyborg equipped with a variety of robust weapons while allowing them to choose how strictly to adhere to RoboCop’s Prime Directives.

Fast forward a little, and there’s fresh excitement on the horizon. Publisher Nacon recently spilled the beans about the forthcoming sequel. As per VGC, the action-packed RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business will pit RoboCop against elite mercenaries who have transformed OmniTower into a fortified, high-tech battleground. Players will need to strategically dismantle this threat, ascending through a gauntlet of high-tech adversaries.

The announcement trailer showcases a set of new features, including the chilling Cryo Cannon, perfect for freezing foes in their tracks. Players will get to unleash brutal takedown moves, smashing criminals against concrete walls or even vending machines. Nacon describes Unfinished Business as both a standalone sequel and an addition to the original, suggesting it might offer a slightly shorter but equally intense experience.

RoboCop’s adventures have been immortalized in games dating back to side-scrollers inspired by his early films, and even make a surprising turn in Mortal Kombat 11. The success of RoboCop: Rogue City has undoubtedly reaffirmed the gaming potential for this iconic protector of Old Detroit. With RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business launching this summer, it seems Alex Murphy won’t be hanging up his cybernetic badge and gun anytime soon.
