During The Game Awards 2022 there was a reveal trailer for Crime Boss: Rockay City, a wannabe Payday / GTA heist clone game with a few celebrity actors joining the FPS game's cast, such as Michael Madsen, Michael Rooker, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Damion Poitier, Danny Trejo, Vanilla Ice and Chuck Norris. Yes, that is real, Chuck Norris will be in the game. I hope we get to hear Danny Glover say that he is "too old for this shit" during the game.
The game will have a single-player campaign and a four-player cooperative multiplayer. You can check out the reveal trailer below. Crime Boss: Rockay City is scheduled to release on March 28, 2023 on the Epic Games Store and will release on console later that year. The game is being developed by Ingame Studios (this is their first game) and published by 505 Games.
On Friday we got to see some gameplay for Crime Boss: Rockay City, which you can also watch below. My takeaway from the gameplay video is that it looks like a game studio's first game, it looks like a slower Payday 2, and the gunplay looks average at best. If you've been waiting for Payday 3, this game may be something to keep you busy until it comes. After watching the gameplay, what are your thoughts on the game?
