Square Enix has announced that it has delayed the release of its upcoming shooter Outriders once again, with its February 2nd launch date now moved to April 1st, albeit with a silver lining in the form of a free demo.
The demo is reportedly coming on February 25th and will be available to everyone, giving players a chance to play the first few hours of the game with all four classes, both in single-player and in co-op.
As for the delay, the team says it needs extra time to fine tune the game and focus on delivering a "fantastic play experience at launch", thanking fans in the message for "holding tight a little longer".
If you've never heard of the game, Outriders is a 1-3 player co-op RPG shooter from People Can Fly, which previously co-developed Xbox 360 titles Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgement. We're sure it'll be worth the wait!

Release dates are worthless in this industry. The only AAA game with a believable release date right now is Hitman 3 (which still could slip) and many games that sites are reporting as TBA 2021 will slip into 2022.
I wouldn't be surprised if even games that were announced for 2020 get pushed into 2022, like Vampire: The Masquerade 2 and Dying Light 2.
Just release it when ready.. I predict an 8/10 game that il rent.
I still have my doubts Cyberpunk will release in 2021.......
.......
I think we are going to get this all year a bit like last year. Amazing what a microscopic virus can do.
Keep safe all 😊
Just stop giving dates. Give a date that you will provide a further update on but not a new launch date.
Will you please add more game trailers to your articles? I have no idea what Outriders is.
