One of the biggest parts of this year’s Gamescom was RoboCop: Rogue City. Devs Teyon claimed players will explore the psychological side of the cyborg cop. Gamers are thrilled to learn that they can even play as James Murphy in the game.

The new action RPG will explore a lot of features, including expansive shootouts on the streets of Detroit, as well as a determinant dialogue system. How players make decisions will impact the game’s progress and the ending. The complex gameplay and destructible environment shown off in the early footage had fans requesting the game to drop as soon as possible.
However, despite the new announcement of the game being pushed back to November, fans are not too upset. Instead, fans believe waiting a while longer in exchange for a properly made game isn’t much of a big deal.
Fans show their unwavering support
Since the decision was announced by the devs, fans have come forward in numbers to show that they’re standing behind the decision.
Nobody wants a game that feels rushed, buggy, incomplete. So waiting a little longer for a more polished game? The trade off sounds like it could be worth it.
Definitely not a problem, take all the time that you need. Better to have a great complete game instead of a rushed one 😁 Looking forward to the game when you're ready 😌💯

While users are relaxed about the release being postponed, they hope that developers focus on hardware optimization among other improvements they will be making.
Take your time as this game is shaping up to be awesome with some more polish. Hopefully the release build will have better hardware optimizations than the other UE5 games so far.

Since the game promises to explore Alex Murphy, there’ll be high hopes on the story aspects that focus on him.
I'll never be mad at a delay. I hope they make Murphy as 🔥as possible.

Those who remember the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Unity will surely understand why rushing a game’s release is never a good idea.
This is great to hear. Devs that listen to feedback and make adjustments pre launch. Respect! You better believe I'm gonna put a pre-order in
