Seven Cities

About

Seven Cities is an action RPG set in a fractured near-future New York. You play as an Outsider paired with a robotic ally battling through seven warring districts to recover CEROMs, key components for a city-reviving AI. Combat blends fast gunplay with melee strikes, requiring you to upgrade both your skills and your companion’s abilities. The single-player campaign supports co-op multiplayer, letting you team up to tackle hostile territories and negotiate uneasy alliances. The game’s strength lies in its tense atmosphere and political undercurrents. Each district guards its CEROM fiercely, reflecting a society split between progress and tradition. Your choices matter as you persuade or coerce factions to join your mission, shaping how New York’s unity plays out. Developed by IMV Studio, it arrives November 4, 2024, offering a gritty take on urban conflict with combat that’s simple but satisfying. The split between story-driven exploration and chaotic fights keeps the pacing fresh, even if the worldbuilding occasionally overshadows character depth.

Storyline

2030, scientists and military set up an IA called PSI, to stop the impending global crisis. New York City, PSI's test city, finds itself at the heart of an increasingly divided conservative America. From this division, the seven districts called Cities are born, each holding a part of the components used to make this AI work. Search these components called CEROMS to relaunch the test program and to revive the hope of the unification of the peoples. The world didn't wait you to come. Each of the Seven Cities defends its own interests and in this climate of extreme tension, you find yourself propelled in spite of yourself in this travel. As an Outsider, you will have to convince them to join your cause to keep the hope of reuniting New York City.
