RoboCop: Rogue City is getting a sequel this summer

RoboCop: Rogue City is getting a sequel this summer, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The standalone follow-up, which is titled RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, will see players again stepping into the metallic suit of Alex Murphy as he takes on numerous criminals.

Unfinished Business is set in OmniTower, a large housing complex created by OCP to provide for the needs of the residents of Old Detroit.

“But when a group of highly trained mercenaries armed with cutting-edge weapons takes control of the building and turns it into their deadly fortress, RoboCop must take action and put a stop to their plans to undermine law and order,” the game’s description reads.

According to publisher Nacon, players will have to deal with numerous new hi-tech threats in OmniTower, from flying drones and exploding bots to anti-personnel turrets.

“Every floor is riddled with deadly traps, and heavily armed elite troops,” the publisher’s statement says. “Expect to face minigun-toting armoured squads, special forces equipped with jet packs or even katana-wielding foes who look more machine than man.”

Players will also have access to new and returning weapons, including the new Cryo Cannon, and will be able to “deliver devastating finishing moves, whether smashing an opponent’s skull against a concrete wall or into the nearest drinks vending machine.”

Nacon is describing the game as both a ‘standalone follow-up’ and a ‘standalone expansion’, so while technically a sequel it’s unlikely to be as long as Rogue City.

RoboCop: Rogue City was released in November 2023 and was praised for its no-nonsense action, with VGC’s RoboCop: Rogue City review calling it “a hugely entertaining return to simpler times”.

“We found its self-assuredness refreshing, and we dare say some other players will do too,” we wrote. “This is a game that doesn’t overcomplicate things – there’s no elaborate item crafting system, no service game tomfoolery, no shoehorned co-op or competitive multiplayer modes.

“It’s just a solid action game with entertaining dialogue, laughably over-the-top violence, a story that has you keen to see where it leads and a protagonist who can punch enemies across a parking lot, all while showing clear reverence to the movies and characters it’s based on. What it is, above all else, is evidence that not every game has to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, as long as you’re RoboCop and you have a large supply of bullets, there’s a good time to be had.”
