When it was first discovered, Outlander Originally scheduled for summer 2020. However, when Square Enix subsequently confirmed the Outriders for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, it came with a new release window: Holiday 2020.
In a recent game preview event, development studio People Can Fly clarified this change.
"We adjusted the schedule," Rafal Pawlowski, chief designer of People Can Fly, told VG247.
"Because now, for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 we already know, it makes more sense. It just adjusts the schedule for us."
"It all depends on the first-party product," adds Szymon Barchan, chief narrative designer at Outriders.
"We are finishing the game and it's fine. This is a product and you have to think about it that way."
Produced by the development team behind "Bullet Storm" and "Gears of War: Judgment", Outriders is a tough and tough sci-fi shooting game designed for 1-3 players to collaborate. As an alien, your team left Earth to find a new home for humanity.
In the distant Enoch world, the encounter with mysterious anomalies will return you to frozen sleep. Thirty years later, you wake up and discover that not only has this planet suffered the damage of a permanent war, but the brushes swept by anomalies have left you with the elemental power to control fire, electricity and even time.
Outriders will be released on current consoles as well as PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. This is one of the first games to be publicly approved for the next generation of consoles. Its purpose is to tell a mature story, but with the main character you can create yourself.
Contrary to the trend of triple A predator shooting games, People Can Fly has abandoned the real-time service model and aims to provide players with a complete package and complete experience at launch.
