We’re focusing on giving players a true AAA co-op shooter with a deep feature set and strong narrative. The team at People Can Fly really know how to make gunplay feel tight and powerful and we can’t wait to show you more later this winter.”
And his counterpart, Lee Singleton said, “People Can Fly is the perfect partner for us to create a game like Outriders. They have a great history of creating high-quality shooters, plus an unmatched level of experience and expertise in the Unreal game engine, unrivaled in the gaming industry.”
It’s clear that these companies have big plans in the works as People Can Fly has expanded to over 200 developers working in four different international studios to bring us this title.
Outriders Gameplay and story
Outriders is described as a one to three player co-op experience set in a dark and desperate science-fiction universe on the fictitious planet of Enoch with drop-in, drop-out mechanics to fight…. whatever this is…
That’s only one example of the creatures you’ll be encountering, though. Enoch is full of plenty of hostiles that are waiting for their prey.
Our journey begins as our character, an Outrider, which players have the ability to create and customize themselves, is following a mysterious signal transmitting from an unknown source. Enoch appears to be in ruins as shantytowns have taken over its desolate landscape.
Its reveal trailer gives us a better glimpse at why we’re on Enoch and what we’ll be doing. With the earth dying, travelers fled to Enoch to escape the nightmare and find a new home for humanity. Unfortunately for them, it turns out Enoch was much, much worse. What they found consumed humanity instead of saving it. The anomaly that greeted them bestowed supernatural powers.
