Apart from a CGI trailer that provides a brief glimpse of the planet of Enoch, developer People Can Fly also released an in-depth 101 trailer forOutriders.

The first few minutes of the in-depth preview showedan overview ofOutriders' plot and setting. The story begins when the advanced party for the colonists called TheOutridersencounters a mysterious energy storm called the anomaly. While most of the units were wiped out, some survived the phenomenon but were left altered with superhuman abilities. The planet’s inhabitants were also hyper-transformed, making them a menacing threat to the survivingOutriders.
With the anomaly flowing through their veins,theOutriderswere split into four different classes: the Trickster, specializing in close range combat, the Technomancer, a long-range support specialist, the Pyromancer, which is a medium-range class that has control over fire, and the Devastator focused on close-range combat that’s built to stand heavy damage. Each of the four classes will provide players with a customizable playstyle that is highly respectable alongside an extensive skill tree.
As far as gameplay is concerned, players should expect an adrenaline-filled shooter experience mixed with heavy RPG elements. Exploration is also encouraged inOutriders, given that the planet of Enoch is filled with vast environments from a snowy mountainous region, dense jungles, and bare deserts.Outridersis also rich with side quests that allowing playersto scavenge gear and weapons and armor, which can all be modded to have a huge impact on how the player’s skills and abilities play out in combat.
The game’s extensive crafting and looting system also plays an important role for players to be in-tune with their gear, especially once they reachthe post-campaign content ofOutriderscalled Expeditions. The Expeditions is only reserved for the strongestOutriders, given that its missions would pit players against the deadliest creatures Enoch has to offer.
Outridersreleases June 29, 2025, for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
