Outriders Delayed Again, Demo Available In February

Peo­ple Can Fly, devel­op­er of Bul­let­storm, has delayed their next IP — Out­rid­ers — again. The shoot­er, being pub­lished by Square Enix, will now be released on April 1st (no it’s not a joke), instead of February.

The devel­op­er post­ed to Twit­ter giv­en the rea­son for the delay. “We will spend extra time fine tun­ing the game and focus­ing on deliv­er­ing a fan­tas­tic expe­ri­ence at launch. Thanks for hang­ing tight a lit­tle longer. We appre­ci­ate your patience!”

Although Out­rid­ers will no longer release in Feb­ru­ary, the devel­op­ers are releas­ing a free demo for the game on Feb­ru­ary 25th. It show­cas­es its first few hours, with all four char­ac­ter class­es avail­able for both sin­gle-play­er and co-op. Addi­tion­al­ly, progress from the demo will car­ry over to the full game.

Peo­ple Can Fly also announced that Out­rid­ers won’t have micro­trans­ac­tions and is not a games-as-ser­vice title. Out­rid­ers will be avail­able on PS4, Xbox One and PC, while peo­ple play­ing on PS5 and Xbox Series X will receive free upgrades.
