‘RoboCop: Rogue City’ Adds New Game+ Mode, New Difficulty Setting [Trailer]
If you were hoping for some postlaunch content for RoboCop: Rogue City, you’ve got your wish. Developer Teyon has announced a new update that adds a New Game+ mode for Rogue City, alongside a new difficulty setting.
As you might expect, the New Game+ mode allows you to replay a completed run of Rogue City with all of your previously unlocked skills and Auto-9 upgrades, for the full “invincible robotic law enforcement officer” experience. Not only that, but you also get a Golden Auto-9 skin for your new run, and more chips and boards for upgrading the Auto-9.
To unlock the mode, just finish the game after the update is applied. You can do this by reloading a save made just before completing the game. Once done, a new save file will be created, and loading it will grant you access to the new mode.
To go along with the new mode, Rogue City also has a new difficulty setting, appropriately names “There Will be Trouble”. It’s not clear specifically what the new difficulty mode entails, though the announcement does state that enemies will be deadlier.
RoboCop: Rogue City (which we obviously loved) is available now for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Escape a Literal Hellhole in First-Person Survival Horror Title ‘Nature of Dread’ [Trailer]
Described as a nightmare “torn from the pages of Lovecraft, Nikolai Gogol, and Mikhail Bulgakov,” Nature of Dread is a newly-announced survival horror title coming to Steam. This sci-fi horror title has players fighting their way out of a nightmare deep within the northern wilderness, uncovering what has been buried under top-secret clearance for centuries.
The story for Nature of Dread that’s been revealed so far sees players awaken in the classified settlement of Hellhole in the northern forests. Built as humanity’s final defense in a war that has raged for over a millennium, the settlement was designed to contain an ancient evil. As these things go, in a desperate attempt to stop said evil, people tried to contain it, isolate it, and study it.
Ultimately, the military stepped in to do their usual cover-up routine, sealing the borders of the settlement off from the outside world and denying access. Unfortunately, things that were buried tend to have a habit of rising to the surface. Now you’ve been thrust into this centuries-old conflict, where you must decide how far you’re willing to go to protect what truly matters to you.
You’ll be facing off against the spawn of primordial evil, where these creatures learn, adapt, form packs, and change tactics the moment they sense your next move. Luckily, you’ll have plenty of weapons with which to fight these monstrosities, with the devs touting the game having a realistic weaponry system. Of course, since this is a survival horror title, you’ll need to be smart about your gear choices and manage your resources carefully in order to survive.
