Teyon and publisher Nacon have delayed the release of RoboCop: Rogue City to November, however no reasoning has been offered yet.Originally announced in 2021, RoboCop: Rogue City is intended to be an “authentic RoboCop game experience that is faithful to the franchise’s DNA, while immersing gamers in an original story that enables them to play as none other than RoboCop himself”.Footage of the game was shown off in 2022, which revealed the return of the robot ED-209 as well as determinant dialogue systems and explosive shootouts in the streets of Detroit.
