#Mindseye 2077, and I do not know what to think about it – Destructoid

Numerous video games come out every year. Some are distinctive, others are extra generic. However not often will we see a recreation making an attempt to be every part all of sudden, and Sony is pushing exactly one like that at us. Enter: Neo Berlin 2087.

With a brand new trailer unveiled at Gamescom 2025, Neo Berlin 2087 confirmed off its numerous sci-fi vibes, which embody, amongst others, a cyberpunk metropolis, a Matrix-like narrative, each third- and first-person fight (akin to many related video games, primarily CoD and Killing Ground and Max Payne), robots, zombies, and a lot extra.

It’s the last word every part recreation, making an attempt its hardest to encapsulate any and all style conventions. Hell, it even has 2087 in its title, much like CDPR’s RPG, whereas Neo Berlin evokes Akira and Neo Tokyo, to call a pair.

What’s essentially the most complicated bit is that this isn’t some venture-capital-backed challenge or overambitious dream of a former govt like Mindseye was (and belief me, there are lots of these vibes right here as properly). No, it’s a recreation being helped by Sony, which makes one suppose it’s a critical, actual deal. Nevertheless, from how it’s offered, whether or not it’s its lack of identification or appalling voice performing, I discover it onerous to imagine this will probably be something however one other Unreal Engine asset flip.

Neo Berlin 2087 is being developed by German-based Elysium Sport Studio, and it seems to be its first title. It’s being marketed as a “detective thriller,” with twin fight views and a narrative characterised by “Justice, Friendship, Love, Guilt, Sacrifice, and Betrayal.” Society is split by class, cyberpunk firms run the world, when you’re combating to unravel a “far-reaching conspiracy.”

It does sound attention-grabbing when put into writing, however given the trailer, we’ll see how that’ll prove ultimately.

However, truthfully, I gained’t be holding my breath.
