Set in a futuristic version of Berlin in the year 2087, Neo Berlin 2087 is a first- and third-person action role-playing game with stealth elements and cyberpunk aesthetics. The story begins with the brutal murder of a police chief. Players take on the role of detective Nolan, who is tasked with finding and protecting the murdered police chief's daughter. In the course of the investigation, Nolan becomes embroiled in a far-reaching conspiracy that threatens not only his own life, but the fate of the entire city.

On August 15, 2024, the German developers from Elysium Game Studios released a new trailer for Neo Berlin 2087. The trailer shows a dark atmosphere and stands out due to its partly cinematic staging. The video opens with Nolan finding the daughter of the murdered police chief and escaping with her in a flying car. This is followed by several fight scenes - both from a third-person and first-person perspective. The end of the trailer suggests that an emotional relationship is developing between Nolan and the police chief's daughter.

Unfinished animations

Opinions on the trailer are divided. While some viewers praise the innovative setting and the dark cyberpunk look, others express concerns about the quality of the animations, which they find "unpolished" and "wooden". Critics fear that the game will not be able to keep up with larger productions such as Cyberpunk 2077 due to its limited budget. On platforms such as Reddit and YouTube you can find comments like: "How can this look so high budget and dirt cheap at the same time?".

Neo Berlin 2087 will not be represented at Gamescom 2024, which is breaking its own exhibitor record this year, so a release date remains open. Despite the mixed reactions to the new trailer, anyone interested in the game can already add it to their wishlist on Steam.
