Elysium Game Studio has dropped a new Gamescom 2025 gameplay trailer for Neo Berlin 2087, showcasing intense gunplay, cinematic cutscenes, and fresh characters. The upcoming action RPG blends third- and first-person perspectives, offering both immersive storytelling and explosive combat.

Originally announced in 2021 as Shadow of Conspiracy: Section 2, the game was reintroduced under its current name in April 2023. Over the years, it has revealed snippets of gameplay at multiple Gamescom events, but this new trailer offers the most detailed look yet.

A Dystopian Cyberpunk Detective Thriller

Set in a grim vision of 2087 Berlin, players step into the shoes of Nolan, a detective tasked with finding and protecting the daughter of a recently murdered police chief. His investigation uncovers a conspiracy threatening to consume the entire city.

The game introduces two new characters, Bryan and Phoenix, who make their debut in this trailer. Alongside the narrative, the footage reveals stealth mechanics, direct combat options, and the ability to hack into the minds of suspects to uncover memories, emotions, and hidden truths.

Gameplay Highlights

Combat draws inspiration from titles like Max Payne and Deus Ex, mixing slow-motion dive attacks, takedowns, and versatile gunplay. Players can choose their approach, sneaking through environments or unleashing heavy firepower.

The trailer also shows a variety of locations, from neon-lit streets to high-tech interiors, each rendered with strong cyberpunk aesthetics using cinematic lighting and detailed textures.

Community Reactions and Expectations

While the production values have been praised, reactions online remain mixed. Some players have compared it to “Max Payne meets Perfect Dark,” while others question whether it can live up to the ambitious mix of genres it promises.

Still, the unique blend of detective storytelling, hybrid perspectives, and mind-hacking mechanics could set Neo Berlin 2087 apart when it eventually launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Fans can expect more reveals during Gamescom 2025, where the game will be showcased.
