In December 2020, developer People Can Fly and publisher Square Enix will launch 'Outriders,' a new RPG shooter that allows for up to three person co-op play.
Players can drop in and out of the game, with one to three people navigating a dark hostile planet that will allow for plenty of intense combat opportunity and exploration. Featuring a rich story-based plot, players will begin in the First City, and will then make their way through dense forests, mountains, and deserts and they seek to uncover a mysterious signal.
In addition to a selection of impressive space-age weapons, players will be able to use unique gear sets and powers to defeat the different enemies they'll encounter as they make their way across the dangerous planet.
