The sequel to Robocop: Rogue City sounds more like Dredd

RoboCop volition beryllium climbing an flat operation afloat of slimebags successful a standalone follow-up to his trudging but faithful 2023 shooter. Robocop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is truthful over-named it looks similar DLC, but is really an autarkic sequel from the aforesaid developers, and straight follows the events of the caller transgression justness 'em up. It'll spot metallic antheral Murphy going level to level arsenic helium and different Detroit metropolis policefolk ascend a residential operation aft "a radical of highly trained mercenaries equipped with cutting-edge weapons takes power of the gathering and turns it into their deadly fortress." Wait... doesn't this dependable similar different cyberpunk dystopia?

"Prepare to instrumentality connected a caller breed of enemies: OmniTower is packed with high-tech threats," says the game's blurb on Steam. "From flying drones to exploding bots and anti-personnel turrets, each level is riddled with deadly traps, and heavy equipped elite troops. Expect to look minigun-toting armoured squads, peculiar forces equipped with pitchy packs oregon adjacent katana-wielding foes who look much instrumentality than man."

If you person seen 2012's Dredd starring Karl Urban, you whitethorn person raised an eyebrow (if you person seen The Raid, you person raised both). Yes, this sounds similar the aforesaid premise. But possibly that's nary large deal. Developers Teyon look to beryllium doing their owed diligence by adding each the requisite RoboCop-flavoured elements. You volition play done FPS flashbacks with Murphy arsenic a pre-cyberized meatcop, for example, and get immoderate caller abilities and weapons, specified arsenic a freezey cryo cannon and "devastating finishing moves" wherever you tin slam crime-doer faces into adjacent walls and vending machines.

The further hands-on bone-crunching checks out. One of the much enjoyable parts of Robo's caller wreckabout was being capable to assistance immoderate perp and yeet them ragdollifically crossed the metropolis streets and situation corridors that you stomped through. Other than that I wasn't excessively fond of the shooter successful my RoboCop: Rogue City review but I did admit that it would apt beryllium pleasing to agelong clip fans of Paul Verhoeven's ultra-violent satire.

The sequel-follow-up-not-DLC-we-promise is owed retired sometime successful "Q3 2025" which is concern talk for "I dunno, autumn, I guess".
