Outriders Delayed To April, But We Get To Play A Demo This February
Square Enix announced that Outriders, a third-person RPG looter shooter, has been delayed and will now be released on April 1, 2021.
This is the first big delay announced in 2021 and it’s a big push as it was originally planned for a February launch.
But the wait to play the game next month isn’t gone as developer People Can Fly announced that a demo will be released on February 25, 2021, giving all players interested in the game to play the first hours of the game and trying out all four classes in both single and co-op play.

This marks as the online shooter’s third delay since it was announced, but a demo does feel like a solid alternative to those itching to play the game. The only question is if the content available in the demo will give a clear picture of what we will get when Outriders go live on April 1, 2021.
Outriders is being developed by developers from People Can Fly, known for the shooter Bulletstorm, and is a third-person RPG looter shooter that will provide a similar gameplay loot found in games like Destiny 2.
