News: Check out over 12 minutes of gameplay for People Can Fly’s upcoming title.

Square Enix has just released some new Outriders gameplay from studio People Can Fly. Seen through the lens of drop-in co-op, the First City gameplay reveals never-before-seen Pyromancer powers, brand-new, hyper-evolved creatures, information on the Outriders World Tier system, a look at an immersive new environment and more.

Set in an all-new, dark sci-fi world, Outriders is a true genre hybrid that combines the depth and story of an RPG and the intensity of third-person shooter combat with awe-inspiring powers. Deep character progression and itemization allow for a wide variety of creative class builds, and evolve People Can Fly’s trademark over-the-top, skill-based gameplay to create a brutal RPG-shooter experience.

“We are making the game we always wanted to play. The team at PCF are all gamers and we love shooters. Shooters are in our DNA and we have been making them for decades. At the same time, we also love RPG’s,” said Bartek Kmita, Creative Director of Outriders at People Can Fly. “We always wanted to play a deep RPG, with an epic story and the flexibility to create lots of interesting character builds, but we also wanted a skill-based, challenging, and intense real-time combat system in our RPG. When the opportunity to create it ourselves came along, it was like a dream come true.”

The Outriders First City gameplay video is just one of the segments in the Outriders Broadcast, a new monthly show that will dive deep into the various features of the dark and desperate world of Outriders. You can discover all-new gameplay, environments, character class deep dives, and updates from the team with this show. For now though check out the gameplay below and then tell us what you think.
