About Patlabor: The Case Files
Patlabor: The Case Files is a 3D action game for PS5 and PC that allows players to relive numerous iconic scenes from the Mobile Police Patlabor series.
Players can enjoy a variety of experiences unique to the game, including:
-
Missions that can be played from different perspectives, including that of Special Vehicle Section 2 and those who oppose them.
-
More than 20 Labors appear in the game, allowing players to pilot iconic machines including the Ingram, Griffon, and Zero Type.
-
A Simulator Mode where players can take on shooting training exercises and Labor-versus-Labor battles.
Labors are a general term for robots developed for industrial use.
While they became widely used in the construction and civil engineering industries, crimes involving Labors also increased rapidly.
In response, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established the Special Vehicle Section 2 Patrol Labor Unit to combat these crimes.
Thus, the unit known as “Patlabor” was born.
