Square Enix have unveiled a new 1-3 player,
drop-in-drop-out, co-op shooter, set in an original dark and desperate sci-fi
universe. Outriders has been developed by the same people that brought you Gears
of War Judgement and Bulletstorm, People Can Fly.
Take a look at the announcement trailer below.
“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.”
