A brand new Outriders trailer was rece✨ntly revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020, offering sci-fi aficionados a fresh look at the upcoming ability-based shooter.
Developed by Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgement dev People Can Fly and published by Square Enix, Outriders takes place on a mysterious - and treacherous - planet called Enoch. Here, the player is tasked with finding a curious force known simply as The Source. The game plays out as an ability-based, third-person shooter and is strictly co-op. Players colla𝔍borate by taking on raids comprised of hostile creatures from the world's weird variety of fauna, and progress by collecting unique loot in order to defeat viciously powerful bosses - although, despite how that might sound, Outriders is not a games-as-a-service title.
Check out the brand new Gamescom Opening Night Live𒀰 trailer for Outriders i🦄n the video embedded below.
"I have become te🐽rror," says an ambiguous voice in the trailer. "The unseen predator, a ruptu♎re that obliterates without warning."
"Al🍃one, the hordes of Enoch will fall before me," it continues. It's a mysteriously harrowing spiel to rattle off, bꦿut it's effective at evoking Enoch's atmosphere.
As the trailer progresses, we g🌌et a look at the flora, fauna, and landscapes that make this world unique. From gargantuan scarab beetles to sabre-toothed, alien quadrಞupeds that would make an African Big Cat quake in its boots, the animal population of Enoch includes a diverse range of ferocious predators. There's even an armored leviathan that looks like a cross between a demogorgon and the Hulk - a formidable foe, for sure.
These curious creatures occupy vast deserts, inconspicuous shrines, and long-dilapidated ruins, all of which the player is tasked with exploring on their long and arduous quest to u𝔍ncover The Source and save humanity from extinction on an alien planet.
Outriders is due to launch Hol🦄iday 2020, and will be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Goo🅺gle Stadia.
