The upcoming FPS RoboCop: Rogue City has shown its first game and has revealed the main character Alex Murphy, with the complete resemblance of the original actor Peter Weller. The game is now scheduled to arrive in June 2023.
Presented in today’s Nacon Connect showcase, we took a look at the game’s dystopian Detroit from the first-person perspective of RoboCop itself, amid what appears to be gang violence across the city. Combat seems to be a mix of melee shooting, with Murphy’s guidance systems used to eliminate hard-to-hit enemies. We even see an ED-209 robot join the fight.
Aiming to launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X / S, RoboCop: Rogue City “will combine first-person shooter with Detroit exploration and multiple-choice dialogue,” according to Nacon. The game was first announced last year and is based on the original 1987 film, but will tell a whole new story in this setting. It is developed by Teyon, who previously created Terminator: Resistance.
RoboCop is an action classic and one of the best action films of the 80s, and a typically Paul Verhoeven mix of ultraviolence and dystopian satire. There is currently a prequel series in development for television, based on the depiction of the Detroit series and Omni Consumer Products, the company that will create RoboCop itself.
