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.
Can’t say I’m even interested in the game, but I completely agree with the sentiment of others commenting here. Nintendo has been getting a lot of flak for their lack of communication lately, but I’d honestly rather have that than far out release dates that just lead to more public resentment.
I know Microsoft didn’t have a real choice, they had to create some buzz, but man...the wait for Fable and Everwild is gonna feel like an eternity.
Will you please add more game trailers to your articles? I have no idea what Outriders is.
