Robocop: Rogue City is part man, part machine, and all videogame. It’s also delayed, as it turns out, from a planned release in September to November 2, 2023.

The November date was revealed in the description for the latest trailer for the game, which blends a cinematic look at the ever-crumbling Old Detroit with gameplay footage showcasing “detective work and gory shootouts.” Publisher Nacon didn’t provide any explanation for the delay, and in fact the Steam page still indicates that Robocop: Rogue City will launch in September, but this isn’t the first time it’s been pushed back: It was originally supposed to be out sometime in June, but got bumped into September earlier this year.

We had high hopes (or at least cautious optimism) for Robocop: Rogue City back in 2022, fueled largely by nostalgia for Paul Verhoeven’s brilliant 1987 film about the future of law enforcement, but a closer look at the game in June left me cold.

    I personally support delays in development, especially with the state of AAA gaming where everything is rushed olt the door and unfinished. Good on then for admitting they need more time.
