On February 14, People Can Fly hosted a presentation by Outriders, its next third-person shooter, scheduled for release in the fall of 2023. The game, in addition to PC, PS4 and Xbox One, will be released on the next generation consoles – PS5 and Xbox Series X. Cybersport.ru collected all the information about the project.
Outriders gameplay is reminiscent of a mixture of Gears of War, Destiny and Mass Effect. Skirmishes in the game take place with the active use of shelters, as well as the unusual abilities of the main characters like teleportation or throwing fireballs.
At the start of the game there will be three classes: Devastator, Trickster and Pyromancer. The first is a powerful fighter with high levels of defense and attack, the second is able to slow down opponents and quickly move to them, and the third is a local magician with pyromancy skills.
Characters can be pumped and change their weapons. Some journalists complained that the loot system in the game is boring. Allegedly, you do not need to think about which rifle to use – choose the one with the largest number.
Outriders is a linear action movie without an open world. But, judging by the words of those who tested the game, it will have location hubs where you can rest and choose a further route. Sometimes bosses will appear at the end of missions.
The developers focus on the plot and the ability to complete the game in a co-op. According to the synopsis, the action takes place on the distant planet Inok, which should become a new home for humanity – the Earth is destroyed. The player enters the Outriders squad – these are scouts who must study the Inok and prepare the ground for the arrival of other people.
