Torrance, Calif.—February 16, 2020—Aksys Games announced today that the company will publish
RICO London in North America. The follow up to Ground Shatter’s stylized, cell-shaded, Rogue-like buddy cop shooter is expected to launch this summer on PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
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.
