Fallen Tree Games (which previously created American Fugitive) has announced a current-gen multiplatform game that takes us back four decades into the past.
Here’s the game’s overview: “You are Officer Nick Cordell Jr. As a rookie beat cop fresh out of the Academy, you’re on the front line of defense for Averno’s citizens. Dive into a world of thrilling car chases, procedurally-generated crimes, and a healthy dose of 1980s noir as you protect the populace and solve the mystery of your father’s murder in the line of duty. A love letter to classic cop movies, The Precinct combines police sim detail with action sandbox spectacle. Patrol the streets and respond to callouts to fight criminals, petty and powerful. Choose your tactics in thrilling chases and shootouts. Feel the shifting power struggles of Averno’s gangs in a city full of procedurally generated crimes, from parking infractions to bank heists, street racing, and drug deals.
Speed through the city in intense car and helicopter chases and pursue your mark through twisting alleyways before bringing them to justice. There’s no need to be a lone wolf: You’ve got Averno’s Finest backing you up with an in-depth support system that allows you to call in squad cars, roadblocks, spike strips, and more. Explore the ever-shifting criminal underbelly of Averno City. Deal with yuppies, bums, street vendors, and furious taxi drivers from the Projects to the Financial District. Chase perps through neon-lit alleys, rain-soaked streets, and grand, decaying parklands, all subject to a day/night cycle and dynamic weather. This is the 1980s East Coast in all its neon-noir glory. Explore a vibrant, living city by foot, squad car, and helicopter. Respond to procedurally generated crimes ranging from parking violations to gang shootouts. Engage in intense vehicle chases through destructible environments. Go it alone or call in backup with an in-depth support system. Investigate the gangs who rule the city and the dark conspiracies keeping them in control. Day/night cycle with dynamic weather.”
The Precinct, a neon-noir action sandbox with an unknown release date, is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).

![However, an anonymous GOG employee paints an even darker tone of the internal situation: „We were told it’s a financial decision. GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
