Earlier this week Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly unveiled a brand-new trailer for its co-operative sci-fi looter-shooter Outriders, and now, as promised, it’s shared a pick selection of gameplay details and videos as part of a half-hour long livestream reveal.

On a fundamental rank, it perhaps wasn’t the most revelatory of unveilings for Outriders, with little register to truly distinguish it from its peers; it’s a “dark” third-person cover-based shooter set in a “brutal nightmarish world” that ticks all the usual lite-RPG boxes are far as categorizes, skill trees, customisation, and oddity based loot buy travels. That doesn’t mean it’s a failure though; it seems to have an interesting premise, a dazzling, astonishingly diverse planet to explore, and, of course, People Can Fly’s evident expertise when it comes to gunplay.
