MCV Staff 10th January 2014 Retail

Glu Mobile has released a RoboCop game on iOS that ties in to next month’s movie return for the Detroit law enforcer.

An android version is due for release on January 15th.

The game is free-to-play and takes the form of a cover shooter in which the resurrected Alex Murphy is undergoing a training simulation.

The RoboCop series debuted in 1987 with a film of the same name and went on to produce two, less successful movie sequels in 1990 and 1993 as well as a less-violent 1994 TV series.

The new film, which is due out in the UK on Februay 7th, looks to resurrect the brand, giving RoboCop a new look in the process.
