Last night during The Game Awards, Square Enix revealed a new trailer for Outriders, the RPG-shooter from People Can Fly. The studio is responsible for Gears of War: Judgment and Bulletstorm. The new trailer introduces you to the Mantras of Survival, which is a guide to help you thrive as a “hyper-evolved” Human on the planet of Enoch. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s covered in the video:
Powers on Tap – Dominate the battlefield with destructive powers. Cooldowns are short and powers are there to be used often, so don’t rely on just bullets. Kill to Heal – All Outriders heal through doing damage. There are no medkits, syringes, or health regen on Enoch. Aggression is key to surviving and thriving in the heart of battle. Cover’s for Cowards – Cover won’t save you, it can only buy you time. Select your most powerful loadouts and dive headfirst into combat. Think Aggressive – A guiding philosophy for survival. Confidence is everything on the battleground of Enoch, and an aggressive playstyle is a key ingredient to success.
The game will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, and on Google Stadia later in 2021. The game will feature cross-play compatibility across all formats, and players who purchase the game on current-gen consoles will be able to upgrade from PS4 to PS5 for free. To upgrade PS4 disc copies, players will need a PS5 console with a disc drive. Players can also upgrade from Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S for free with Smart Delivery.
