During its E3 2019 press conference, Square Enix officially revealed People Can Fly’s latest game, Outriders. The publisher has released a cinematic trailer for this shooter, as well as a developer diary in which People Can Fly shares some additional, though minor, details.
Outriders is a 1-3 player, drop-in-drop-out, co-op shooter, set in an original dark and desperate sci-fi universe. The game promises to be a dark modern third-person shooter with a strong story.
Players will be able to explore a hostile alien planet, full of incredible weaponry, exhilarating gameplay and brutal enemies.
Sebastian Wojciechowski, Studio Head of People Can Fly, said:
“OUTRIDERS is the game that we have been wanting to make for years. 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.”
Lee Singleton, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, added:
“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.”
Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, concluded:
“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. 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.”
The game is currently planned for a Summer 2020 release.
Enjoy!

Wow. I thought Ubi was underwhelming, but SE one up’d them. Nothing but schlock.
Nah, Ubi was worse
Worse than remakes/remasters, generic shooters, and a comically inept take on FF VII which is essentially FF XV in a VII skin with the “press one button to win” design? I dunno. It’s arguable, I suppose.
I found it funny during that gameplay trailer for VII though, when all you see is the “attack” button pulsing as it’s being spammed. Such deep gameplay. 🙂
I’d say they’re on par
Ubisoft showed barely any gameplaya and what they showed was pure trash and Squeenix showed mobilegames and DLC.
It’s really amazing just how bad E3 gets every year, I’m sure the hosts are desperate and calling in favours or something because these companies had nothing to show.
is this another online gaming shooter again ??
Ofc. If you want originality, look elsewhere. There is none at SE.
But people cant fly while playing games,right?
Co-op shooter? No thank you. Where’s the Bulletstorm sequel?
Another co-op open-world shooter/RPG….So generic and unoriginal!
if it has looter shooter elements, its dead jim.
how is it that co-op is making a comeback again ?
Make it couch co-op and you’ll have my moneyzzz
