Aksys Games has confirmd that RICO London, the follow up to Ground Shatter’s stylized, cell-shaded, Rogue-like buddy cop shooter, will be released in June on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch.
London, New Year’s Eve 1999. You are a cop tasked with neutralizing
the notorious and violent gangs of the city. Play solo or with a friend in co-op mode and move through a variety of procedurally generated levels to wipe out the gang threat that is increasing all over the capital in this ode to retro arcade shooters. Many of the levels are set in abandoned buildings such as derelict hospitals and office spaces in East London, most of which have been taken over by gangs.
At the end of each level, players can upgrade their characters with a selection of random items and further enhance your upgrades with effects to make them more effective. A global leader board and rewards will support the co-op features in game. For this iteration, the developers focused on the aspects of gameplay that were most popular in the original, resulting in more enemy variants and environmental scenes compared to the first game, and hostage situations and new weapons have been added to ramp up the intensity.
Game Features
High-Rise, Higher Stakes – Ascend the gang’s tower taking on tougher goons as you go.
Double Trouble – It wouldn’t be a buddy-cop shooter without a partner close by your side. Call in a ride-along either local or online.
Perks of the Job – Customise your loadout with a series of performance enhancing perks and upgrades.
Guns to Go – The three magazines of 9mm you brought were never going to get you off the first floor. Chop and change from your expanding arsenal as you defeat enemies.
RICO London, the second title in the RICO series, is currently expected to launch in June. Until then, take a look at the official trailer!
