Looking for another cooperative shooter? This time from the creative minds behind Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause? Square Enix have now unveiled Outriders!
A brand new AAA original IP from the developers of Gears of War Judgement and Bulletstorm – People Can Fly – Outriders will be hitting Xbox One, PS4 and PC in the summer of 2020 thanks to Square Enix External Studios.
Revealed at the Square E3 2019 conference, Outriders details are still super thin on the ground, but you should come to expect a 1-3 player, drop-in/drop-out cooperative shooter that is set in an original dark and desperate sci-fi universe.
“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. They have a great history of creating high-quality shooters, plus an unmatched level of experience and expertise in the Unreal game engine, unrivalled in the gaming industry,” Said Lee Singleton, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios.
“OUTRIDERS is a very exciting project for us at Square Enix External Studios. We’re focusing on giving players a true AAA co-op shooter with a deep feature set and strong narrative,” said Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios. “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.”
