Roguelite immersive sim Streets of Rogue is leaving Early Access

In Streets of Rogue (opens in new tab) you're a member of the Resistance, with missions to do in a procedurally generated city. You're expected to carry them out with whatever tools your character has at their disposal. If you're a cop you'll be able to arrest people, while a bartender can spike their drinks, or a hyperintelligent gorilla can punch things real good. It's a lot less serious than the likes of Deus Ex. This is the kind of game where you can put poison gas in air vents, but it's also got pills that turn people into giants.

Streets of Rogue has been in Early Access for over two years, but as that trailer above shows, developer Matt Dabrowski is ready for his game baby to leave beta. Streets of Rogue will be out in full come July 12, and is adding "new achievements and mutators" for its release version, with more updates to come after that.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games (opens in new tab). He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun (opens in new tab), The Big Issue, GamesRadar (opens in new tab), Zam (opens in new tab), Glixel (opens in new tab), Five Out of Ten Magazine (opens in new tab), and Playboy.com (opens in new tab), whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
