Your move, creep. More RoboCop fun incoming with standaline expansion

RoboCop: Rogue City took more than me by surprise when it came out. It was not only the RoboCop movie tie-in we always wanted, but it is easily one of the best “based on a movie character” games of all time. It felt like RoboCop and the devs really leant into the fact that RC is a clunky, slow-moving death machine, and didn’t attempt to speed everything up for all the Fortnite kiddies out there.

Sure, there were a few edges that would have been more polished with a bigger budget – NPC voice acting for one was a bit grating, but the game was a blast.

It’s also currently on sale on Steam for around $5 as well if you missed out. I highly advise a purchase there.

More good news is that RoboCop: Rogue City is to get a standalone expansion (so, a new game then really) called Unfinished Business, which brings RoboCop into a new mission – to clear out the bad guys from OCP’s new tower block of apartments. Think Full Metal Die Hard.

So the whole thing is set in the tower with you needing to ascend to complete the mission, the various floors will each throw different kinds of enemies at you, including jet-pack equipped baddies and katana-wielding cyborgs.

To mix things up, there are even levels where you take control of the iconic ED-209 (You have 20 seconds to comply) in a wave shooter level, and, for the first time ever in a RoboCop game, a chance to step into the shoes of Alex Murphy before his transformation.

I hope Unfinished Business offers enough new to get the same plaudits as the original. It’s nicely priced at under $30, but the word “expansion” suggests it may turn out to be on the shorter side. We will find out soon enough.

When is RoboCop Unfinished Business released?

RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on July 17, in both physical (on consoles) and digital versions, priced at $29.99/€29.99/£24.99. A Mac release is also planned at a later date.

RoboCop: Rogue City is not required to play RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business.
