Following a terse announcement last E3, People Can Fly and Square Enix have began gabbing extra about their new cooperative “RPG shooter”, Outriders. Parts look gruff and grim and in a too-familiar manner, a bit too mid-noughties, however then somebody will get murdered so onerous with blue beams that they’re left a giant ol’ dancing skeleton and ah gwan I’ll not rush to guage. I’ll reduce People Can Fly lots of leeway after their sweary trickshot FPS Bulletstorm and its disinteskellies.
Square Enix additionally blasted this blurb, which is mighty excessive on buzzwords however hey, they’ve not stated a lot to this point so possibly you’ll discover these scraps informative:

Combining intense gunplay with violent powers, along with an arsenal of increasingly twisted weaponry and gear-sets, Outriders offers countless hours of gameplay from one of the finest shooter studios in the industry.”
Alright, settle your self pal.
Squeenix are planning a “reveal stream” on Twitch at 8pm GMT on Thursday, with game director Bartek Kmita and lead author Joshua Rubin. So I suppose we would really see one thing then.
