Automan VI

Automan VI is a 2020  developed by Alulim Games and Mosavali Studios and published by Alulim Interactive. It is the ninth main entry in the Automan series and is the first major title to be released after Automan V in 2012. Set within the entire south-central Artemian continent, the map contains fictional representaitons of Seratof, Samotkhe, Velselexo, Svenskt, and Borgosesia.

The open world design allows players to explore the entire map before completing missions, however Borgosesia is locked until a specific point in the game.
