At Gamescom 2025, Elysium Game Studio captivated audiences with the latest gameplay trailer for Neo Berlin 2087, a highly anticipated action RPG set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe. This trailer, showcased during the annual gaming convention in Cologne, Germany, offered a thrilling glimpse into the game’s immersive world, blending first- and third-person perspectives with a gripping narrative and intense combat. With its release planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, Neo Berlin 2087 is shaping up to be a standout title for fans of the cyberpunk genre.
Set in a futuristic Berlin in the year 2087, Neo Berlin 2087 immerses players in a rain-soaked, neon-lit cityscape that echoes the aesthetics of iconic cyberpunk works like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. The trailer highlights the game’s striking visuals, powered by Unreal Engine 5, with detailed environments and gorgeously animated cutscenes that rival cinematic productions. From sprawling urban districts to shadowy back alleys, the world of Neo Berlin 2087 feels alive and teeming with secrets waiting to be uncovered.
The trailer introduces two new characters, Bryan and Phoenix, who appear central to the game’s narrative. Players assume the role of Detective Nolan, a protagonist with unique abilities to read human behavior and hack into suspects’ minds to extract critical information. This mechanic promises to add depth to the investigative elements of the game, allowing players to piece together clues in a sprawling conspiracy filled with themes of justice, friendship, love, guilt, sacrifice, and betrayal.
Neo Berlin 2087 offers a unique blend of first- and third-person gameplay, catering to players who enjoy both immersive storytelling and dynamic combat. The trailer showcases intense gunplay, including slow-motion “shootdodge” mechanics reminiscent of Max Payne, alongside stealth-based “sneaky shenanigans” for those who prefer a subtler approach. The combat sequences are fast-paced, with Nolan wielding an array of futuristic weapons and cybernetic enhancements, drawing clear inspiration from Deus Ex.
The ability to switch between perspectives adds versatility to the gameplay, allowing players to tailor their experience to their preferred style. Whether engaging in high octane firefights or navigating the game’s narrative-driven detective sequences, Neo Berlin 2087 aims to deliver a polished and engaging experience. The trailer also teases new levels, showcasing diverse environments that range from gritty urban streets to high-tech corporate strongholds.
Neo Berlin 2087 is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via platforms like Steam and Epic Games Store. While no official release date has been announced, the consistent presence of the game at Gamescom over the past few years first as Shadow of Conspiracy: Section 2 in 2021, and now under its current title suggests that Elysium Game Studio is making significant progress. The studio encourages players to add the game to their wishlists, hinting that a release may be closer than anticipated.
