An upcoming PS5 RPG, described as a “unique” thriller, has made a puzzling new appearance after its original announcement in 2021. Neo Berlin 2087, which was originally titled Shadow of Conspiracy: Section 2, has received a new Gamescom 2025 trailer and we can’t seem to wrap our heads around what we’re looking at.

New trailer for PS5 RPG Neo Berlin 2087 has left players confused

According to developer Elysium Game Studio, Neo Berlin 2087 combines both first and third-person elements in a narrative-based RPG set in a dystopian cyberpunk world. Ok, we’re with them here. But then, we see this:

Going by the comments under that video as well as the reactions I’ve seen on social media/gaming forums, I certainly wasn’t the only one who thought the dialogue was a bit strange. But we can chalk that up to the trailer only showing a miniscule portion of the game.

That said, the mishmash of genres and gameplay mechanics on display here don’t look too promising, and we can see why some players feel like they’ve watched dozens of different game trailers in a single two-minute video.

I think one player perfectly described Neo Berlin 2087 when they wrote, “Max Payne of Duty 2077: Deux Ex Matrix.”

Here’s hoping the next trailer does a better job of explaining what Neo Berlin 2087 is all about.

We’ll be covering Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live today, so stay tuned.
