Press release:
CALABASAS, Calif. – Mar 28th, 2023.
Leading video game publisher 505 Games, and developer INGAME STUDIOS proudly announce “Crime Boss“: Rockay City, the Organized Crime live-service shooter combining action set-pieces, turf wars, and over-the-top call-backs to 90’s crime movies.
Starring a cavalcade of Hollywood greats such as Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Damion Poiter and Vanilla Ice. Crime Boss: Rockay City pits protagonist Travis Baker (Madsen) against ridiculous odds in an explosive turf war to become king of the criminal underworld.
Help Baker climb to the top the criminal ladder of Rockay City, while evading capture from Sheriff Norris (Chuck Norris), where every play-through will be different, and no road to glory is the same as the last. Rockay City is ever evolving, and so are the challenges Baker and his team will face. Navigate each mission in your own playstyle to complete objectives and take over Rockay City one neighbourhood at a time, or build out your team across two co-op modes where the stakes are high (permadeath is real!), but the rewards are higher.
“The release of Crime Boss:Rockay City is the culmination of years of hard work by an incredibly dedicated and talented new studio in the shape of INGAME STUDIOS,” said Neil Ralley, President of 505 Games.
“As we launch this live service game for 505 Games, today marks the beginning of Crime Boss: Rockay City’s story, and we can’t wait continue building out the world of Crime Boss and all the potential it has to offer gamers.”
“It feels great to finally reveal our game to the world”, said Jarek Kolář, Development Director at INGAME Studios.
“Crime Boss: Rockay City has been the greatest pleasure to bring to life, and we’ve crammed it with so many over-the-top missions, characters, and 90s call-backs, we hope people will have as much fun playing it as we did building it. And this is just the beginning!”
