Relive the World of Mobile Police Patlabor
Mobile Police Patlabor the Case Files is a 3D action game that lets players experience many of the most memorable moments from the beloved Mobile Police Patlabor series.
Features include:
-
Story missions playable from both the perspective of Special Vehicles Section 2 and the opposing side.
-
Pilot more than 20 different Labors, including iconic machines such as Ingram, Griffon, and Type Zero.
-
A Simulator Mode featuring shooting practice and Labor-versus-Labor battles.
Story
Labors are giant robots originally developed for industrial use.
As their adoption across construction and civil engineering rapidly expanded, Labor-related crime also became increasingly common. In response, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police established the Special Vehicles Section 2 Patrol Labor Unit to combat this new threat.
Thus, the Patlabor was born.
Third Trailer Introduces Three Distinct Game Modes
The third official trailer is now available on the Good Smile Company YouTube channel.
The new trailer highlights the game's three primary modes:
-
Main Mission
-
Another Side Mission
-
Simulator Mode
In addition to showcasing gameplay from each mode, the trailer offers a first look at the fully voiced story sequences featuring members of Special Vehicles Section 2 Division 2, along with plenty of newly revealed scenes from throughout the game.
