Because more than a calendar quarter, plus 45 days, have now passed since Outriders’ release without any payment, this probably means that, in Square Enix’s opinion, the Outriders game has not exceeded the break-even point, the developer said. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy. Outriders developer People Can Fly has claimed that it has not received any royalties.

New franchises of this scale are quite rare these days, and the arrival of a new console generation means there’s no better time to jump into a fresh universe of possibilities. By Gary Jones 18:55, Wed, UPDATED: 18:56. Outriders is an 1-3 player RPG shooter, set in a dark and desperate sci-fi world. But this whole thing has been weird, so who knows, maybe Outriders 2 somehow gets announced by the end of the year regardless of the apparent logic.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. OUTRIDERS early access has popped up today, and some gamers are wondering how some are playing early before its designated release time. It's a strange situation, but all of this sure sounds like we are probably not getting an Outriders 2, despite Square Enix making it clear they are retaining the IP after the recent sale of Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and other properties. ![]() ![]() Given the chance, the DLC's would be significant expansions to the game and would feature self-contained stories set in the Outriders universe. Today Outriders quasi-launches with a new demo featuring all four classes, a bunch of early missions and progress that carries over until the full release of the game. In relation to these plans, the Publisher has also decided to postpone the release date of Outriders. This isn’t a “failure” like Cyberpunk 2077 releasing an expansion and extending support because I mean, that game sold 18 million copies, and has absolutely made a profit. According to an interview by the game's Creative Director Bartek Kmita, the possibility of a downloadable content (DLC) for Outriders is entirely up to the game's success. But again, that seems like a pretty big risk, as does continuing to devote time and resources to a game that they admit seems like it may never make its costs back.

Square finally announced at the Summer Game Fest that Outriders Worldslayer is scheduled to release on June 30, 2022. But on People Can Fly’s side, despite getting no royalties, they mention many times in the new report that continuing to support Outriders is one of their main priorities going forward, and the game is about to launch a major expansion, Worldslayer, out in June. Now that I’ve had time to fully blast my way through Outriders, it’s time for our final review we appreciate your patience Now, People Can Fly’s gritty, blood-and-guts take on the co-op.
