From Nacon, the publisher behind wide range of AA games like Hunting Simulator (2017) and WRC 10 (2021), and Teyon, developer behind action movie video games like Terminator: Resistance (2019) and Rambo: The Video Game (2014), come the next two entries in this 80s-style tradition with Terminator Survival Project and RoboCop: Rogue City. Both games were revealed during the Nacon 2022 livestream which showcased several titles Nacon is publishing.
Starting off with Terminator Survival Project, Nacon’s Milan-based studio released a teaser for the project yesterday, July 7th, depicting a T-800 Terminator endoskeleton finding its next human victim against a fiery backdrop. While the trailer was brief, we can expect the Terminator game to be the first sci-fi open-world game from this developer, set after the events of Judgment Day in the original Terminator timeline. However, it occurs before the creation of John Connor’s resistance, placing it chronologically before the developer’s older Terminator first-person-shooter from 2019. Again, very little info is known at this point but the devs say the game will release “in the distant future.”
The full trailer for RoboCop: Rogue City was also released yesterday, featuring a return to the 35-year-old franchise for actor Peter Weller, the original RoboCop. Lending both his voice and likeness to the role, players will follow a relatively linear story in the metal shoes of Weller’s RoboCop, doing their part to eliminate rampant crime on the gritty streets of Detroit. Armed with the typical RoboCop weapons and abilities, the game looks to remain faithful to Paul Verhoeven’s original gory world. Aside from the broad strokes, little is known about the plot, other than the “glitch” RoboCop will have to contend with, hinted at in the trailer’s closing moments.
While Terminator Survival Project has no set release, RoboCop: Rogue City is slated for a June 2023 release on PC and all next-gen consoles.
