Recently the game's director, Piotr Łatocha, participated in an interview and revealed some information about the game, confirming that RoboCop: Rogue City took 3 years to make.

Are there any plans to add more content to the game? Maybe more side quests, DLC, or potential plans for a sequel?

Piotr: Not at this moment, but only time will tell.

Can you tell us how long the entire development cycle took?

Piotr: The game was developed for around 3 years in total.

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Surprised / not surprised to hear they are not working on dlc as they've already got job listings for another action project. Which you assume will be another 80s classic franchise.

 

[Gaiff]

That's perfectly fine by me and I'm glad it did well. A development cycle that makes sense along with the budget. We have enough AAA games that take 7 years to develop and can't even finish their story within a single title.

 

[winjer]

I'm more curious about what is going to be their next game.
Hopefully, it's another 90s hit franchise.

 

[Punished Miku]

If you guys are dying for more Robocop content, buy the new documentary limited series that just came out. Small film studio, but they clearly went all out. Interviews with virtually everyone involved in making it, nice production values.

RoboDoc. Worth every penny for fans.

 

[Arsic]

Their format is perfect. Complete products in a timely fashion that are fun to play.

I assume the next one is likely Judge Dredd right ?

Sounds like they learnt from Nintendo.

 

[SmokedMeat]

That’s refreshing to hear. Knowing theyre doing something new is more exciting than a sequel or DLC.

I'd be down for:

Terminator
Demolition Man
Mission Impossible
Bad Boys
Universal Soldier

I know Terminator is 80s but THE magnum opus of that franchise is Terminator 2 in 91.

Red Dawn co-op shooter PLEASE I will suck them off.

I want to play as all of the iconic actors and take back Calumet!

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Terminator

They already did a Terminator game, hello?

 

[analog_future]

I'd love to see them take on a Die Hard game!

Or maybe something a little more obscure like Total Recall.


So many good options.

[R3TRO]

I thought it was mediocre until I set it to one shot kills everything and now I’m having a blast. I’d love a sequel.

 

[Badlucktroll]

That studio should do a 89-92 3rd person keaton batman game

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Great for no DLC, so tired of them and "incomplete" games. But what a pity for no sequel, would have been nice.

 

[Shut0wen]

Please make a dredd game xoxo

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

They already did a Terminator game, hello?

And a damn good one at that. Also packed with references of T1 and T2.

The intro song gave me chills. When that guitar starts to shred. Goosebumps.


Teyon is my favorite developer since Robo landed. Still playing it daily. Finished it 4 times and waiting for the New game + mode!!

 

[MetalFreak]

A proper Die Hard game!

 

[ManaByte]

Which you assume will be another 80s classic franchise.

 

[delfrickintree]

I hope they get left the fuck alone and let them work their craft. Always grabblers trying to exploit a successful thing.

Let’s do it, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” will be a perfect fit here!

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

You know what? Give them a license to do a PROPER Matrix game. It's right up their alley.

 

[Denton]

I am playing it right now. It is fantastic. But still it kinda makes me want a fullblown AAA sequel, that would include bigger Detroit than just one neighborhood, that would let me drive the cruiser, that would have better facial animation and additional NPC animations and behaviours.
Hell I would not say no to a Robocop game on Cyberpunk 2077's scale.

But of course, given the budget and teamsize Teyon had to work with, they did incredibly well.

 

[00_Zer0]

I doubt they could get the license for Alien/Predator from Disney, but it would be amazing none the less.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I doubt they could get the license for Alien/Predator from Disney, but it would be amazing none the less.

Disney let Sony make that awful Predator game

I hope they didn’t pay too much for this license

 

[YuLY]

PERFECT.

They need to continue doing more IPs like this. Would love Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, Die Hard, Timecop. It would be a shame to just do a sequel.

 

[Dick Jones]

No Sequel or DLC

 

[FoxMcChief]

That’s ok.

 

[IDKFA]

I'm more curious about what is going to be their next game.

Rambo, or an Alien Vs Predator reboot or a remake of this gem.

Agreed, I so wanted to drive the Ford Taurus! Was a huge balls moment the first time I realised it was just a cutscene. I really enjoyed the game though and I think with more budget the team could really shine.

 

[systemr123]

So they mean to say that they will actually develop a new game, in a new setting, with original ideas, opposed to milking 1 game for 7+ years which gets stale after the first DLC?

If only big publishers would have the courage to be creative once again “sigh”

 

[Dr.D00p]

I was going to buy this but it's got free Epic game giveaway written all over it, so I'll wait

 

[Stuart360]

I'd love these guys make a 'Robot Jox' mech game!

 

[phant0m]

Surprised / not surprised to hear they are not working on dlc as they've already got job listings for another action project. Which you assume will be another 80s classic franchise.

Awesome. Loved Robocop, would probably enjoy a sequel but if the studio would prefer to take on another franchise I am perfectly happy to see what they do. Industry has enough milking of anything mildly successful.

 

[adamsapple]

That's fine.

I want the devs to tackle the next 80's action franchise.

Say ... Escape from New York?

 

[PontiusFeeb]

Not only are they not going to add DLC, they’re not even going to fix obvious long term bugs.

 

[El Muerto]

Reeeaaally hope this is their next project. It would work great as a game.

 

[Js562]

Game is good and I hope for some dlc. The devs still need to patch it up too still bugs here and there

 

[TVexperto]

I heard they are making a die hard game

 

[RagnarokIV]

Highlander please.

 

[jason10mm]

Loving Robocop and have Terminator up next.

Lots of good ideas for a new game, so what is the magic sauce these guys bring over all the other lame IP grabs?

1. Immersive environment and nostalgic atmosphere for an 80's view of the times/future
2. Bringing back familiar characters and honoring them with new stories
3. Hitting the sweet spot with member-berry call-backs and familiar touchstones
4. Solid action that evokes the over the top gratuitous violence of the film
5. Good pacing that never wastes your time, keeps things interesting even in a small reused space, short side quests that add flavor
6. Competent shooting with a good variety of weapons and enemies that don't over stay their welcome
7. Enough RPG elements to increase personal choice but not overwhelm
8. A distinct lack of "go to glowing dot on map to collect 1 of 50 trinkets" or overly complex skill/equipment economy

Dredd, I think, could be a lot like Robocop. Die Hard could emphasize the action but where would the story go? Replay Nakatomi, pick up before or after Dulles, mix in the "Simon says" elements from DH3? Lethal Weapon likewise feels too focused on Riggs, though a Hardline type game with those characters could be fun, maybe Miami Vice? (though there are several neon 80's cop games now). I like Universal Soldier, that seems like it would fit the action RPG model as well. Escape from New York/XXX city would also be ripe for their "80's vision of the future" design. My vote would be They Live though, I feel like there is enough new ground to break with that plot and with the glasses some novel ways to replay levels seeing new things.

 

[jason10mm]

Highlander please.

With Bushido Blade type gameplay? TAKE MY MONEY!!

 

[BouncyFrag]

Iron Eagle?

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I'd love a proper Dredd game.

And I imagine with Robocop, devs were limited in terms of discretion concerning the IP. I suspect they'd get a much longer leash on something like Judge Dredd.

Still working my way through Robocop. Damn fine time.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

I mean they’ve already got the assets so why not a robocop vs terminator game?

 

[Mattdaddy]

Universal Soldier

Oh man that brings back some memories.

YOU'RE DISCHARGED, SARGE!

 

[Gaiff]

Boy do I have good news for you:

Oh man, it was them? Well, I wish they would make another attempt in that case.
