RoboCop: Rogue City’s New Expansion Looks Like Dredd and Drops This July

Teyon is back at it. They’re swinging for the fences.

The developers behind RoboCop: Rogue City just announced a brand-new expansion called Unfinished Business, and it’s set to launch on July 17, 2025. If you loved the gritty, steel-crunching world of Rogue City — but wished it had a bit more claustrophobic chaos and intense vertical action — you're probably going to be all over this.

"Unfinished Business" takes major inspiration from the 2012 film Dredd, with heavy nods to the 2011 action classic The Raid, too. Murphy’s about to battle his way up a hostile OmniCorp skyscraper full of mercs and deadly tech, all while flashbacks remind you what it was like when he was just flesh and blood.

Check it. The game is available for wishlisting on Steam. There are no system requirements yet, but we will notify you.

RoboCop’s Legacy

Before we dive deeper, it's worth remembering just how huge RoboCop was (and still is). Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 RoboCop wasn’t just another action movie — it redefined the genre. It blended brutal action, sharp satire about corporate greed and media obsession, and some surprisingly emotional storytelling. The character of Alex Murphy became an instant pop culture icon, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with 80s legends like the Terminator and Rambo.

From cartoons to toys to endless parodies, RoboCop lodged itself deep into pop culture’s bloodstream. Even today, lines like "Dead or alive, you're coming with me" hit with the same cold, powerful impact.

Who’s Making This Expansion?

If you’re new to the Rogue City story, Teyon is the studio behind it. Yeah, that Teyon — the same team that made Terminator: Resistance (which, to be fair, was a huge step up from their earlier, not-so-great Rambo game).

Teyon has been slowly but steadily building a rep for taking beloved 80s franchises and giving them modern, respectful game adaptations. While Rogue City wasn’t perfect when it dropped in late 2023 (some clunky mechanics, some repetition), it was a huge improvement over past efforts and genuinely captured the essence of RoboCop’s world: dystopian, broken, but somehow still badass.

What’s New in Unfinished Business?

So what’s this new expansion actually bringing to the table?

• Vertical Level Design: Instead of sprawling city streets, the action takes place inside an OmniCorp skyscraper. Think Die Hard meets Dredd, with narrow corridors, dangerous vertical fights, and brutal close-quarters gun battles.
• Flashback Missions: You’ll occasionally step back into Murphy’s pre-cybernetic days, playing as plain old Alex Murphy. Expect a different style of gameplay here — maybe less tanky and more tactical?
• New Characters: The trailer introduced Miranda, a scientist guiding Murphy through the chaos, and a mysterious mercenary leader tied to Murphy’s past. Fans are already speculating that the villain might be a returning face, maybe even connected to Max Becker from the base game.
• New Storyline: There’s a machine hidden in the building that could potentially control all OmniCorp devices — including RoboCop himself. Cue the paranoia.

Bethesda, are you taking notes? This is how you expand a game world without bloating it to hell.

Style vs. Substance: Can It Nail the Satire?

One of the biggest criticisms of Rogue City was that while it nailed the look and feel of RoboCop’s Detroit, it didn’t always capture the biting satire and over-the-top excess that made Verhoeven’s movie so legendary.

The hope with Unfinished Business is that by focusing on a smaller, more intense setting — and by tapping directly into the DNA of Dredd — Teyon can lean harder into the social commentary side of the RoboCop mythos. Cynical corporations, mindless violence, the illusion of control — it’s all right there, waiting to be tapped.

As one fan said in a comment: "If they can deliver the same crunchy gunplay but add more outrageous satire, this could be the best thing Teyon has made yet."

No pressure, guys.

What’s the Release Plan?

Unfinished Business is dropping July 17, 2025, for PC, and it’ll likely hit consoles around the same time, though Teyon hasn’t officially locked that down yet. Pricing hasn’t been revealed either, but based on their past expansions, it’s expected to be in the $15-20 range.

There’s no word yet if it’ll add any multiplayer modes or big systemic changes — it seems like it’s a purely single-player, story-driven expansion. Which, honestly? Feels right for a RoboCop game.

Nobody really wants a battle royale where 50 RoboCops punch each other into scrap metal.

It Must Be Okay

Is Unfinished Business going to be perfect? Probably not. But if it tightens the action, ups the stakes, and leans into the wild side of the RoboCop universe, it could be the redemption arc that both Murphy and Teyon deserve.

"Part man. Part machine. All unfinished business."
