RoboCop: Rogue City was expected to come out this June. But developer Teyon announced during its Nacon Connect stream that the game will come out in September instead. We do get a new gameplay trailer for the title, which has plenty of that gore and over-the-top violence you've seen in the RoboCop movies. The game will tell an original story where this cyborg police officer (once again played by Peter Weller) tries to clean up the crime-ridden streets of Detriot. RoboCop: Rogue City will come to the Sony PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

'Alto's Odyssey' creator teases 'Laya's Horizon' game coming to Netflix

Toronto-based game developer Snowman has a new game coming. The team known for creating the soothing snowboarding  Alto series teases its upcoming title called Laya's Horizon. There really isn't much we can glean from the new video teaser, except we see a beautiful seaside village in the mountains and a caped character we assume to be Laya. What we do know is the game is coming to Netflix, which offers mobile games as part of its subscription. Laya's Horizon will be the second release on the platform following Lucky Luna. 

Snowman hasn't shared a release date yet. But these collaborations with Netflix aren't the developer's only foray into mobile game subscriptions. There is an updated version of Alto's Odyssey available on Apple Arcade.
