People Can Fly to move away from gaming as a service but warns more content is coming
Last week we tested the free demo of Outriders, of People can fly (Bulletstorm), which will be available until the game launches and you can track your progress. The Polish developer, funded by Square Enix, will allow users to play the game’s first mission indefinitely with all 4 character types and more side missions.
It seems that these good intentions, far from the betas (server tests) of other titles and only available for a few days, are not the only ones on the part of the creators of Outriders. In a recent interview
This means that the title will arrive with the full content, with its main and side missions and that they will not add events over time, as can games like Destiny or other titles. They’re also not ruling out post-launch content, stating that they won’t be dropping the IP after the premiere, and that it could come in the form of DLC later, albeit still moving away from the game by. as a service.
“I’m going to say we decided to take the old school approach where we make the game and give it to the players, without thinking about microtransactions, game passes and things for the next one. At one point, it was easier for us to think of our game this way. Simply deliver the entire product. We call this the old school approach. We’re aware that most games currently approach this differently, but we think gamers will appreciate this approach. Of course, this does not exclude us from the possibility in the future of simply adding content but not as a microtransaction or a game going on, more like the bigger components that can come if the players are interested want to dive into our world, play in the world. We love what we’ve created and Enoch is the world we want to build in and add extra elements for it, but not as a form of microtransactions or game passes. It’s a different mindset when you think of gaming. “
