COVID strikes again.
Outriders has been delayed to April 2021, developer People Can Fly has today confirmed.
The news was slotted in after the announcement of a playable demo next month.
“We believe it’s important that players get to experience a new IP like Outriders before release, so that you can decide for yourselves whether the game is something you wish to pre-order, purchase or play,” People Can Fly said, perhaps taking a swipe at recent titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
“For this reason we’re excited to announce that on February 25th 2021 we will be publishing a free demo, giving everyone the chance to play the first few hours of the game with all four classes — in both single player and co-op — along with seamless migration of your character and progress to the full game.”
That means the demo will be available for all across Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X, PS4, PS5 and Stadia.
“Speaking of which, we have decided to move the release date of Outriders to April 1st 2021 (no joke!). We will spend this extra time fine tuning the game and focusing on delivering a fantastic play experience at launch.”
Outriders is now expected from 1 April on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X, PS4, PS5 and Stadia. We previewed it back in February of last year.
