Nacon has announced that its upcoming follow-up game, RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, will arrive for consoles and PC on July 17. Nacon and Teyon released the first game, Robocop: Rogue City, on November 2, 2023, and it went on to become the publisher’s biggest hit with nearly half a million players during its first two weeks. With such a success story, it was no wonder that the publisher quickly greenlit a sequel. This time around Alex Murphy is returning to Old Detroit to take back control of OCP’s lOmni Tower, a massive complex intended to house its residents that has been overrun by a group of mercenaries.

Description (per Nacon via YouTube):

“Armed mercenaries have seized control of the OmniTower. Their goal is to take control of the power source at its core. Combine this with stolen modules from the Metro West precinct, and they’ll have all the parts needed to take control of any OCP technology in the vicinity, including RoboCop.


Ascend the OmniTower, a housing project turned deathtrap, with turrets, traps, and squads of troopers roaming the halls. All the while, you’ll be exploring a new story, uncovering links between RoboCop, the people around him, and their shared history as you learn the lengths some are willing to go to realize their ideals.”

Taking a page from Judge Dredd‘s Mega-City One concept, Teyon has created the OmniTower. It is here that RoboCop will encounter drones, another ED-209, heavily armed thugs, and more. The developer received praise for its faithful reproduction of the iconic 80s films’ look, style, and feel, giving players a truly nostalgic experience. This time around, players will also be a part of Officer Murphy’s flashbacks in new missions featuring familiar faces, and RoboCop will receive a new weapon, the Cryo Cannon, for dispersing cold, hard justice.

Nacon has not yet revealed PC requirements for the upcoming $49.99 stand-alone game, but odds are they will be similar to the first game, which featured lumen and nanite ray tracing effects using Unreal Engine 5. Fans of the first game should be relieved that it looks as if Teyon has not compromised in ensuring the sequel has retained elements which made the action-RPG such a success, and more good news is that original actor Peter Weller has once again returned to voice the law-enforcing cyborg.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
