Publisher Rising Star Games and developer Ground Shatter have announced RICO is launching next week.
The upcoming co-op enabled buddy cop shooter will launch on March 12th for PS4, the 13th for Xbox One, and the 14th for Switch and Windows PC (via Steam). You can check out the launch trailer above.
RICO allows two friends to shoot their way through procedurally generated cases as a pair of renegade cops in both online and split screen co-op. The players are on a strict time limit, and must race against the clock to stop the bad guys and solve the case.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Two cops, one case and only 24 hours to take them down… can you score the bust of a lifetime? Take the role of a loose cannon police detective and face off against criminal gangs in an exciting procedurally-generated action movie FPS. Join forces with a friend, online or locally, and take down those crooks in true buddy-cop style!
As a part of the RICO task force, your mission is clear: get in, take down the criminals and get out again. Sounds easy, but it’s not – procedurally-generated cases mean you’ll never know who or what’s waiting for you. Pick your load-out, then use the element of surprise to get a tactical edge over the enemy. Unlock new weapons, mission types and traits, or dive into Daily Play and see how high you can climb the cop rankings!
Key Features:
- Take down criminal gangs with extreme prejudice and solve the RICO case – you’ve only got 24 hours, detective!
- Procedurally-generated cases mean no two games are ever the same – you’ll never know what’s waiting for you.
- Crack cases with a friend, either online or locally, for co-op carnage. Two loose cannons are always better than one!
- Daily Play cases – with leaderboards and rewards – keep you coming back for more, along with unlockable weapons, traits and mission types to discover.
