We are less than a month out from the release of People Can Fly’s class-based sci-fi shooter Outriders. Publisher Square Enix has released a short animated trailer offering an abridged version of the events that led to a squad of no-hopers somehow becoming the makeshift saviors of humanity.
With the Earth on its last legs and the best of society’s experts lying in ash, the final hope for mankind lies in an expedition party made up of expendable mercenaries – tasked to explore the planet Enoch in hopes of finding a new world for colonization. Things go awry fast, however, when a powerful energy storm blasts the planet’s inhabitants, infusing everything in its path with powerful elemental abilities, including our unlikely heroes.
