If you’ve been eagerly awaiting more on RoboCop: Rogue City since its announcement back in 2021, today’s your day. Publisher Nacon has released a new “gameplay overview” trailer and confirmed a launch delay from the previously announced June window into September.
This is Nacon’s second gameplay video for RoboCop: Rogue City, but given how little actual gameplay was included in the intial one, this latest is arguably the first time developer Teyon (which made the rather wonky Terminator: Resistance) has been able to give a real sense of how things will play out. And that appears to be a mix of first-person gunplay and detective work.
In the video, we see RoboCop patrolling the rain-slicked streets of Old Detroit in search of a suspected drug trafficker. He’s able to profile ne’er-do-wells using his fancy gadgetry as he makes his way to the likely scene of the crime – an arcade – and once inside, there’s an opportunity to do a bit of scan-based detective work, where he uncovers evidence of drug use on the premises before bothering a potential informant at the urinal.
With some new info – and an approved digital search warrant – in hand, it’s time for a quick trip across town to confront the goons seemingly behind the drug trafficking, at which point guns are unholstered and bullets (and brains) fly.
