Role-playing shooter Outriders received a cinematic trailer and video story about the game
Square Enix and People Can Fly have released two trailers for the upcoming Outriders game. In the cinematic video “Acceptance of Power,” we are shown the unusual landscapes of the planet Enoch, where humanity is bleeding to death in heavy battles.
Also shown are various landscapes and the monsters inhabiting them, fighting, and the main characters – Pioneers, who will begin their journey across this dangerous planet. The pioneers are outcasts who left the Earth, who, as a result of the first contact with Anomaly, received superpowers and have now turned into the last hope of humanity. “This planet was our hope. But in the end, she only brought us fear. Abnormal storms drove us into the dungeons. People are hiding from the ruthlessness of this planet. Perhaps they are still losing this battle, but we are not giving up, ”the Pioneers say in the video.
The second video is six and a half minutes long and talks about Outriders in more detail. The project is a cooperative role-playing thriller designed for the passage of both one person and in a team with two associates. According to the plot, a mysterious Anomaly has fallen on the once beautiful planet Enoch: it forces flora and fauna to evolve to eradicate the infection from the Earth-people rapidly. Enoch looks like living hell.
The pioneers who landed in front of the colonists fell into a fierce storm, and most of them died, but the main characters survived, turning to Aliums – no longer people, but something more. They gained control over time, space and matter, becoming something like demigods. There are 4 classes of Pathfinders (Pyromancer, Trickster, Destroyer, and Technomancer), each with a different playstyle and skill tree. The video introduces these classes.
Players will search for the mysterious signal source and visit the most different corners of Enoch: from the snow-covered Eagle Peaks to the impenetrable jungle and sun-dried deserts. Everywhere they will be awaited by deadly enemies who have adapted to the conditions of existence in these ecosystems. There will be many side missions with their own rewards. An important part of the game will be the constant search for new weapons, equipment, and modifications. There is also a complete system for making items.
Outriders promise a rich storyline somewhat similar to the Borderlands series but more serious. After completing the main campaign, expeditions will open – more difficult tasks in which you will have to face the most dangerous inhabitants of Enoch. Forays into the wilds of the planet will take place in the Pioneer Truck – a real mobile base that can be decorated with design elements, visual modifications, and the skulls of defeated enemies.
Outriders will be released on April 1 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X & S, and PlayStation 5. The co-op action movie will appear on Xbox Game Pass on the same day. A demo is available on Steam.
