The trailer doesn’t offer any gameplay but People Can Fly says that the game is “a 1-3 player co-op RPG shooter set in an original, dark and desperate sci-fi universe.” Players will create a character called an Outrider and will adventure across a hostile planet called Enoch. The story is about a “mysterious signal” and it offers various guns to shoot and gear-sets to create.
It sounds like it could offer shooting gameplay likeThe Divisionand a story likeAnthemwith theco-op play ofGodfall. People Can Fly also says that the game “offers countless hours of gameplay” suggesting that fans will need to set more than a few evenings aside to fully enjoy it.
Many fans are excited to hear that another PS5 and Xbox Series X game has been announced, but some have also said that they feel tired oflooter shooter games. There are so many looter shooters to choose from such asDestiny 2,Borderlands 3, andWarframe. Only two PS5 games have been confirmed and they are both looter shooters, so it’s not surprising to see fans ask for more variety.
People Can Fly may be able to get fans feeling a bit more positive aboutOutridersby releasing a new gameplay trailer. TheleakedGodfallgameplay trailerupset many who said that it looked like a PS5 game. IfOutriderscan really use the PS5 and Xbox Series X hardware to offer something that looks brilliant, it may get a few more people supporting it.
However, this won’t stop fans from hoping that there will be a wider range of games available on the consoles at launch. After all, there have been rumors that the PS5 will have a newRatchet and Clankgame. If these games were officially confirmed, fans will be able to smile knowing that it won’t just be loot shooters ad infinitum when the PS5 and Xbox Series X launch.
Outriderswill be released in holiday 2020 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
