NACON announced earlier this month that a brand-new edition of its online press conference, NACON Connect will be held on March 9 (March 10 for us in ANZ). The Nacon Connect 2022 stream had a heap of new gameplay footage, new game announcements and release dates. With an especially full line-up this year (over 25 games planned for 2023), NACON will share lots of information about forthcoming games in this edition. The conference will also be an opportunity to show gameplay from several titles such as RoboCop: Rogue City, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Gangs of Sherwood and Ravenswatch. The Racing category will only be represented by TT3: Ride on the Edge in this edition.
TT3: Ride on the Edge 3: May 2023
Developed by veterans of RaceWard Studio, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 lets gamers experience the thrill of the most dangerous motorbike race in the world. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3, the official game of the legendary Tourist Trophy race, will be available in May 2023 on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
RoboCop: Rogue City (Teyon): June 2023
Welcome to Detroit; crime runs rampant as the city lies on the edge of ruin, people fighting for scraps as others live extravagant lives of luxury. Control of the Detroit Police Department is given to the Omni Consumer Products corporation in an attempt to restore order. You are that solution, RoboCop, a cyborg tasked with protecting the city. The triumphant return of RoboCop wouldn’t feel right without the man who brought so much life into the role, and we’re excited to reveal that Peter Weller will be performing voiceover work on the game. Enjoy this first look at gameplay and for the record, “dead or alive, you’re coming with me!” RoboCop: Rogue City will be coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch in June 2023.
Torn by his fractured psyche, players will have to manage both Sméagol and Gollum on a journey that will take him across famous locales, revealing more about his time as a slave below the Dark Tower and his stray with the Elves of Mirkwood, as he interacts with iconic characters from the series. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum™ was originally to release in 2022 however was delayed indefinitely. Hopefully we can get more of an idea of a release window with this update.
