Square Enix announced that Outriders, a third-person RPG looter shooter, has been delayed and will now be released on April 1, 2021.
This is the first big delay announced in 2021 and it’s a big push as it was originally planned for a February launch.
But the wait to play the game next month isn’t gone as developer People Can Fly announced that a demo will be released on February 25, 2021, giving all players interested in the game to play the first hours of the game and trying out all four classes in both single and co-op play.
