This Is The Police 2 coming later this year

Weappy and THQ Nordic have announced that a sequel to This Is The Police is coming to PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One later this year, featuring a return of its signature mixture of adventure and management, including some more "unexpected mechanics" that should intrigue players, according to the press release.

"Welcome to Sharpwood, a remote border town in the north," the official description reads. "It's a rough, cold place, where inhabitants know their neighbors by name and faithfully keep to their traditions, no matter how barbaric those traditions might be. Smugglers, gangs and screaming populists have made this town their home. Despair grows like a cancer, hand in hand with violence."

"It's a hell of a job for the new sheriff, Lilly Reed (voiced by Sarah Hamilton, of the celebrated adventure saga The Longest Journey). She has to maintain order and peace even though her subordinates are uncouth men who aren't used to receiving commands from a young woman. But everything changes when a mysterious stranger calling himself Warren Nash appears in Sharpwood. And no one knows what he'll bring to the town: salvation or perdition."

Every challenge in the game allegedly requires the player's direct intervention, and the outcomes will change depending on the decisions you make. In order to survive you'll have to deal with the weaknesses and fears of others, and if you want a further taste of what the game's like be sure to check out the new trailer below.
