With the surprise announcement of Crime Boss: Rockay City, it surprises many to see a game sets in the same setting as GTA: Vice City.

Crime Boss: Rockay City from the developer INGAME STUDIOS and publisher 505 Games in conjunction with Epic Games to come exclusively on PC on the Epic Games Store beginning Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Plan a heist now through Saturday, Dec. 10 to receive a 40% pre-order discount. Console versions will break loose later in 2023.

Crime Boss: Rockay City is to video game version of what The Expendables was to movies. It has everything we loved from action-packed, vibrant settings, to a variety of cast that’s very badass. The game is described as a “first-person shooter heist game that’s either playable solo or with friends.” Rockay City is like a more vibrant, flamboyant metropolis version of Vice City.

Sets in the underbelly of 1990s Florida, where neon lights illuminate the long-faded glamor of the 80s, Rockay City’s crime boss meets an unfortunate end. The story of the game centers around Travis Baker’s (Michael Madsen’s) attempt to claim the underworld throne of Rockay City through a series of turf wars, robberies, and crazy side stories performed by a specially picked crew after the demise of the previous crime boss.

You organize a band of thieves based on their skills and expertise for cooperative PVE multiplayer that is handcrafted and refined by veterans of the FPS and heist genres. If that’s not your cup of tea, then there’s a thrilling campaign with an all-star cast of characters played by Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Damion Poiter, and last but certainly not least – Vanilla Ice.

Crime Boss: Rockay City sets to release on March 28, 2023 exclusively on the Epic games Store, with console versions due later in 2023.
