Everything we know about RoboCop: Rogue City
RoboCop: Rogue City is an action-packed game that lets you experience the life of RoboCop, the cyborg law enforcer. You will explore the crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit, fight against various enemies, and solve cases using your advanced abilities. As mentioned earlier, you will also interact with Anne Lewis, your loyal partner from the original movies. The game takes place after the events of RoboCop 2 and before RoboCop 3.
As RoboCop, you will use your signature Auto 9 gun, which never runs out of ammo. Fortunately, the game also allows you to pick up and use weapons from fallen enemies, but it's worth noting that those firearms have limited durability. In fact, you can also use objects in your surroundings, such as barrels and TVs, as projectiles to cause more damage.
Thanks to your metal body, you are resistant to bullets, but you still need to be careful. As you may expect, you can heal yourself by using your internal systems or by grabbing enemies and using them as shields.
On top of that, your character gets unique abilities from the start, like seeing in the dark and blasting enemies with a flash. Time can also slow down for a bit to take out more bad guys.
RoboCop: Rogue City is inarguably one of the most anticipated games of 2023 for franchise fans and sci-fi shooters. If you want to see some gameplay footage of RoboCop: Rogue City, you can watch the trailer here.
