Square Enix announces
OUTRIDERS, a sci-fi shooter that will feature
drop-in-drop-out co-op support for 1-3 players coming to Windows and consoles in Summer 2020.
This is in the works at
Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly,
who
recently opened a new office in New York. A first
look at what to expect comes in the
official announce trailer,
which shows that even in a "dark and desperate sci-fi universe" you can still
get a cool haircut. There's also a
behind-the-scenes trailer
where creative director Bartosz Kmita discusses details about the project.
Here's more:
“OUTRIDERS is the game that we have been wanting to make for
years,” said Sebastian Wojciechowski, Studio Head of People Can Fly. “We’re very
happy to be working with Square Enix on this project, it’s a big undertaking for
us and the team has grown considerably to work on the OUTRIDERS project. We now
have over 200 developers at four international studios working on this project
to make it our most ambitious shooter to date. We’re very excited to finally
unveil OUTRIDERS to the world, and we can’t wait to show you more of the game.”
“People Can Fly is the perfect partner for us to create a game like OUTRIDERS.
