RoboCop: Rogue City
RoboCop is a
classic sci-fi action-adventure and one of Hollywood's most iconic
film franchises of all time. First released in 1987, the franchise
continues to resonate with audiences around the world today.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary next year, RoboCop has transcended
pop culture with a robust consumer products and licensing program
and a strong legacy in the gaming space.
NACON and Teyon will work with MGM to develop 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. In the
original RoboCop film, when good cop Alex Murphy is fatally wounded
by ruthless criminals, innovative doctors are able to piece him
back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg called
"RoboCop."
"We're delighted to be teaming up with MGM to
offer a new vision of a popular franchise that was created over 30
years ago. This game is the perfect fit to pursue our aim of
offering different gaming experiences to the widest possible
audience," said Alain Falc, CEO of NACON.
Robert Marick, Executive Vice President Global
Consumer Products and Experiences, at MGM, said, “We’re very much
looking forward to collaborating with NACON and Teyon to bring one
of MGM’s most timeless I.P.’s back to gaming platforms with a
brand-new story. The film is known for gripping action and complex
storytelling, and we are excited for RoboCop fans to experience
this first hand through the game.”
More information about
RoboCop: Rogue City will be
shared at a later date.
