Outriders is now set for a February 2nd release date in 2021.

But you can be forgiven for missing that if you were paying attention to all of the element-infused combat that soaked the ground with blood—and fire, and earth, and bullet casings. This is officially one of the next-gen titles that I’m most excited about.

I think the combat, weapon system, character powers, and narrative are all well-connected. I can’t wait to explore this mysterious sci-fi world and discover what’s happened to humanity. I think, if it’s done right, it could also be one of the more compelling online multiplayer games when the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are still only a few months old.

The game from developer People Can Fly will release on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam & Epic). It’s also coming to Stadia later in 2021, but I’m not sure if that matters for too many gamers...

If you’re like me and you’re ready to experiment with this violent and chaotic game, then you can pre-order Outriders now.
