The RoboCop franchise depicts a dystopian near-future Detroit. Impoverished and overrun with criminal activity, Detroit is being considered by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) for a radical redevelopment into what will be called Delta City. RoboCop: Rogue City is set between the films RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3.

RoboCop was originally Detroit Police Department officer Alex Murphy, who was brutally murdered by notorious career criminal Clarence Boddicker. Being legally dead, and with the Detroit police a privatized entity of OCP, he was then picked by Bob Morton, an OCP executive, to be converted into a heavily armored police cyborg. Gradually recovering his memory with the aid of Murphy's original partner, Anne Lewis, RoboCop hunts down Boddicker and his gang while at the same time thwarting the schemes of Dick Jones, OCP's second-in-command, who commissioned Boddicker to murder Morton, his rival.

In RoboCop 2, Detroit's crime wave is exacerbated by the introduction of a designer drug called Nuke, which is supplied by the cult-like Cain. The police force, which is being gradually undermined by OCP, eventually follows through with threats of a strike. RoboCop is also struggling with memories of his past life and stalking his former family, which prompts OCP to consider production of a more advanced model called RoboCop 2. However, their attempts to replicate RoboCop using dead police officers repeatedly fail. After RoboCop manages to defeat Cain, an ambitious OCP scientist, Dr. Juliette Faxx, chooses Cain as a test subject, extracting his brain and putting it in RoboCop 2. This backfires spectacularly due to his Nuke addiction, forcing RoboCop to destroy him. Despite damages incurred, OCP suffers little public backlash from the project, instead using Faxx as the scapegoat.

Aside from the titular character (voiced by a returning Peter Weller) and some characters from the original movie - namely Anne Lewis, Sergeant Warren Reed, reporter Casey Wong and OCP's CEO known as "The Old Man" - RoboCop: Rogue City features an entirely new cast. Major characters include OCP employee Max Becker, OCP engineer Morgan and psychologist Olivia Blanche, the latter two assisting RoboCop technically and psychologically.

Other characters include Pickles, a homeless police informant later revealed to be on Nuke withdrawal, rookie cop Ulysses Washington and reporter Samantha Ortiz, whose personal story arcs are influenced by RoboCop's direct actions or decisions. Other characters include Soot, musician and leader of the Torch Heads gang, as well as Spike, head of the Street Vultures biker gang, both under the leadership of an up-and-coming crime boss known only as the "New Guy".
