Alright, so check this out. Teyon did something pretty wild, almost like that time Robocop and Terminator were duking it out on Sega Genesis. Now, they’ve turned both into really cool games. I mean, Terminator: Resistance didn’t exactly suck, but RoboCop: Rogue City? Wowza. It’s like they bottled up the essence of being RoboCop — you know, that unstoppable machine vibe — and paid homage to the first two flicks. Full of clever little jabs at society and deep thoughts that make your brain do a somersault. Anyway, the new thing, Unfinished Business, ventures into areas once walked by films like 2012’s Dredd and The Raid. Wild, right?
Now, mark July 17 in your calendars (or, like, maybe not, who knows). They’re dropping Unfinished Business, which isn’t just an add-on but stands on its own two feet. Set in the ominously towering OmniTower in New Detroit — imagine a skyscraper that jokes it could touch the moon if given another hundred floors. OCP built it, but guess what? Gangs and mercenaries have overrun the place. Before the grand release next month, the folks at Game Rant got a little taste of it, diving into some regular levels and a special mission where, get this, you play as ED-209, RoboCop’s clunky cousin. It adds layers to Rogue City’s story, but really, it’s just another excuse to be RoboCop, guns blazing.
So, with Unfinished Business, they didn’t mess with the good stuff. RoboCop’s still that slow-moving, hulking piece of steel, trading speed for the kind of power that makes wrecking balls look like toys. Yes, you still have that trusty Auto-9 with infinite ammo, but don’t be shy about swapping it for whatever new toys the baddies drop. Sometimes, you’re just crashing through walls, grabbing dudes like they’re potatoes, and — wait, was I talking about potatoes?
There’re some fresh takedowns too. Near anything yellow-ish, you can smash heads into TVs or whatever’s around. The enemy AI, not the brightest bunch, kinda moseys right into your line of sight. I don’t know, maybe they think they’re in a movie or something? Still, there are some tougher cookies sprinkled in. Oh, yeah, OmniTower itself? Packed with put-to-use OCP tech, and RoboCop’s targets aren’t just waving white flags. But not to worry — there’re healing charges and loot boxes just crying for attention.
Weapons? Sure, there’s a handful in Unfinished Business, but that Auto-9’s like the best pair of old jeans you can’t give up. It’s modified to make sense given the shorter playtime, faster pace, I guess. Makes it more exciting, though, given what RoboCop’s up against. Keeps your adrenaline spiked.
If Rogue City’s the game RoboCop 3 never got to be, Unfinished Business is akin to RoboCop cameo-ing in something like The Raid. Somewhere there’s a metaphoric handshake between RoboCop and Alex Garland’s Dredd. Following an attack on Metro West — RoboCop finds out he’s pretty much on the hit list. And where do those mercs run? OmniTower, the budding pearl of “New Detroit.” Think RoboCop’s playing floor-by-floor Jenga, but with dudes who don’t learn.
Story-wise, it sets up a great combat playground. Rogue City sometimes got bogged down with side quests and chit-chat trees, or maybe that’s just me nitpicking. Unfinished Business laser-focuses, making RoboCop a lean, mean revenge machine. Beyond some support tech whispering sweet nothings in RoboCop’s ear (figuratively, duh), it’s narrowed in and sharp.
Oh, and did I get to the part with ED-209 yet? This side mission, where you bulldoze through an OmniTower floor as ED-209, is so over-the-top you might just spill your popcorn. This mechanized tower of doom comes with rocket launchers and twin cannons, and boy, does it deliver mayhem! You’re swapping weapons, mowing down hordes, shaking your head at the comedy of their futile resistance. Outdoing RoboCop? You bet.
Even after all this, like Terminator: Resistance, RoboCop: Rogue City shines, crafted with love for the lore. It invites more exploration, and Unfinished Business? Totally worth it, even if you skipped Rogue City. Enough fresh content keeps it from feeling like a replay.
So, jot down July 17, 2025. That’s when Unfinished Business struts onto PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Game Rant got a peek using a PC code. Lucky ducks.
