There is more than just RoboCop in action out there when the upcoming RoboCop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business launches
It is time to boot up yet another look at the new expansion on the way for Robocop: Rogue City. The Unfinished Business that we are going to handle out there and see how this is a full on and stand-alone experience that Teyon is building for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac on July 17th. This is not going to be just a collection of new missions and reasons to go into the OmniTower that has been taken over. No. This is going to bring in some of those classic characters from the RoboCop IP as well as introduce a few more into the mix. Characters that we can now meet in the mix of things, with the latest video we have for the game. Let us dig into the enemies and allies we are going to have to deal with or support once this experience hits the ground running in just over a month from now.
In this explosive new video for RoboCop: Rogue City, we get to see characters like Anne Lewis, Warren Reed, and the ED-209 coming back into play to help as this new gang has taken over the building in question. This new gang is being led by Cassius Graves and his right-hand of, Douglas Cole. Unlike the other villains we have encountered in the core of the game, these two are a bit more charismatic and have vastly superior leadership skills. This is why the team that has taken the building will be a bit more organized than RoboCop has had to deal with in the past. Thankfully, there is a new scientist in the mix, Miranda Hale, who is offering up help along the way. Although, Miranda’s intentions seem to be unknown, so this could end up being the true villain of the story as we head out to make sure as many civilians in the line of fire are kept safe. Have a look at the new video below and get a taste of what each of them are going to offer into the game and thus the IP of it all.
RoboCop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business – Character Intro
Teyon and NACON are pleased to unveil a new video giving further details on the main characters of RoboCop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business. This stand-alone adventure follows on from RoboCop: Rogue City, retaining the key elements that made the previous opus such a success, while introducing a number of new features that will delight fans. Now available for pre-order, the game will be released on July 17 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and later on Mac.
In Robocop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business, players will be reunited with some of RoboCop’s best-known characters, such as Officer Anne Lewis, RoboCop’s loyal partner, Sergeant Warren Reed and robot ED-209. But RoboCop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business will also feature a number of new protagonists.
Players will meet Cassius Graves, the main antagonist of this new adventure and the mysterious leader of a group of dangerous mercenaries who have taken control of OCP’s latest project, the OmniTower, a massive residential complex designed to house the inhabitants of Old Detroit. Cassius is a charismatic and determined man, guided by a very personal and radical vision of Justice, and who commands his troops with an iron fist.
His right-hand man, Douglas Cole, is a perfect example of a mercenary. He is not driven by any ideals of justice, but rather by his own ambitions, renting out his services to the highest bidder. Players will also encounter Miranda Hale, a former OCP scientist who seems to know a lot about the OmniTower and the armed group that has taken over the building. Although her motives remain enigmatic, she will provide valuable intel to RoboCop and help him rescue the civilians trapped inside the tower.
In RoboCop: Rogue City — Unfinished Business, the part-man, part-machine, all cop hero returns to action in a new, independent adventure set after the events of RoboCop: Rogue City, and between the RoboCop 2 and 3 films. An ominous threat looms over the OmniTower, OCP’s latest project to house the inhabitants of Old Detroit. To carry out his mission, RoboCop will be able to rely on his trusty Auto-9 as well as new weapons, and unleash his unrivalled strength with devastating finish moves. Players will also get to relive events through gripping flashbacks, giving them the opportunity to play, for the first time in a video game, as Alex Murphy himself, who is still dubbed by the original actor from the first films, Peter Weller.
Are you glad to see that there is a lot more getting added in here beyond just more crimes for RoboCop to bring to an end? Do you suspect that Miranda will be one of the bigger villains in the story, or will she just have other agendas that we will help bring to light that are outside of saving the day? Does all of this mean the enemy AI might be a bit stronger than in the core game, or just a fun way to tell the story in the mix of things? Take shots at all of this down in the comment section, and then feel free to discuss it all as you wish. If we get more for Robocop: Rogue City, know that it will be added to the site here. It looks like it will be a fun expansion to it all, and now that more have had a chance to play the core game, I am sure the excitement is building beyond what most expected for this older IP.
