‘RoboCop: Rogue City’ Reports for Duty June 2023, New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
Almost one year to the day since its initial reveal, developer Teyon announced during Nacon Connect that RoboCop: Rogue City will arrive in June 2023 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Not only that, but the devs have revealed a gameplay trailer for the upcoming game, which also includes Peter Weller voicing RoboCop once again!
Featuring an all-new story that will be “faithful to the franchise’s DNA”, RoboCop: Rogue City will see players become the iconic part man, part machine, all cop hero as they attempt to bring justice to the crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit. Armed with your trusty Auto-9, factory-built strength, years of experience on the force and a variety of tools at your disposal, you will fight forces seeking to destroy the city you call home in an all new first-person, explosive hunt for the truth. You have the power to decide how to fulfil prime directives in your own way, but as the story unfolds proceed with caution because corruption and greed know no limits.
As for the gameplay trailer, we see brief glimpses of the first-person shooter in action, including an appearance of the ED-209. Fans disappointed in the 2003 RoboCop game from Titus look to have been redeemed with this one. Stay tuned.
Developer/publisher Black Hand has announced that their upcoming occult wild west game The Dark West will be receiving a playable demo on Steam next week on June 10. In addition, the devs have released a new trailer for the game, which highlights the combat, enemies, and boss battles that define the game’s cruel western landscape.
Set in a cursed frontier where faith clashes with damnation and once-living towns collapse into nightmares, The Dark West is a gritty action RPG shaped by greed, black magic, and the belief that power always comes at a price. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it.
Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.
Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.
