a second AAA action-adventure game. While People Can Fly is based in Poland, this new title will be developed from its New York studio.
Outriders has flown under the radar for most of its development, with People Can Fly only recently beginning to show what its game will entail. Outriders premiered at machine-manipulating Technomancer just getting unveiled this week.
Outriders’ Gamescom trailer features all four of its classes and manages to pack plenty of other new details about the game into its scant runtime. Most of the footage from Outriders so far has been taken from an area of the game that looks like a war-torn wasteland, complete with foxholes and makeshift barricades. In the new Outriders trailer from Gamescom, People Can Fly give a glimpse of the game’s far more varied terrain, ranging from overgrown ruins to windswept deserts to snowy mountains. There are also hints of the secret at the heart of the game: the source of the characters’ powers, which will evidently take them to underground temples and the shell of a crashed spaceship in their search for it.
It would be easy to overlook Outriders, especially from the few scraps of footage People Can Fly had released until recently. Its muddy color palette and cover-based shooting made it look like any number of previous games, but the more that’s revealed, the more Outriders takes on an identity of its own. Its developers have also made it clear that Outriders is not a live service game, quelling fears that it could be another disappointingly unfinished launch like Anthem.
If anything, Outriders looks more like by the time it launches this holiday season.
