A few years back, the announcement of Neo Berlin 2087 for PC and PS5 caught our attention with its intriguing blend of detective thriller and intense gunfights. Now, a new trailer has dropped, showcasing a wide array of gaming influences. From shades of Deus Ex and Call of Duty to hints of various zombie games and a touch of Vanquish in the character’s armor, Neo Berlin 2087 seems to draw inspiration from a multitude of sources. Add in a Morpheus-like character reminiscent of The Matrix, and you have a game that promises a unique experience.
Describing Neo Berlin 2087, the game is set in a futuristic Berlin in the year 2087. The society is divided into two classes due to technological advancements and cyberization, with the rich dominating the city while the poor struggle for survival in the slums and wastelands beyond the city walls. The narrative delves into themes of justice, friendship, love, guilt, and betrayal, combining the best elements of science fiction in a groundbreaking manner.
Gameplay footage reveals a seamless transition between first-person and third-person perspectives, offering players the choice of viewpoint. The game features intense bullet time gunfights, stealth sequences in dark tunnels, pursuit by zombie-like creatures, crime scene investigations, and uncanny valley-style facial animations. Originally slated for a 2024 release, Elysium Studio has yet to announce a specific launch date for Neo Berlin 2087.
