Outriders<\/em><\/strong>, the upcoming looter-shooter from People Can Fly, has been steadily building interest in the approach to its February release date. As a third-person sci-fi cooperative adventure with RPG elements, Outriders<\/a><\/em> has been compared a lot to Bungie’s Destiny<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

While it doesn’t seem likely that the game will unseat Bungie’s popular looter-shooter<\/a>, it doesn’t need to. It’s perfectly possible for titles\u00a0that share similarities in gameplay and art-style to flourish alongside each other. People Can Fly may have an uphill struggle ahead, but here’s why Destiny<\/em> players should sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n

Polish studio People Can Fly was founded in 2002 and released its first title, Painkiller<\/em>, two years later. The frenetic first-person shooter did well for a debut title, giving the studio the clout\u00a0it needed to persuade Epic Games to allow it to port the first Gears of War<\/em> title<\/a> to PC in 2007. From there, the studio became more heavily involved in the landmark sci-fi third-person shooter series.<\/p>\n

People Can Fly co-developed Gears of War 2<\/em> alongside Epic in 2008, then did the same for the sequel in 2011. During this period, the studio also worked with Epic Games on Bulletstorm<\/em><\/a>, another shooter title that received a warm critical reception.<\/p>\n

In 2013 the Polish studio\u00a0released\u00a0Gears of War: Judgment<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0its first solo-developed Gears of War<\/em> project. Again, the spin-off title received praise from critics, with many applauding its multiplayer modes, visuals, and action. People Can Fly has demonstrated that\u00a0it has a solid grasp of these three elements, all of which will be core to the upcoming Outriders<\/em>.\u00a0Just like Bungie\u00a0after its work on the Halo<\/em> series, it’s impossible to deny that People Can Fly have the chops to produce a high quality sci-fi shooter.<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons that some may have been\u00a0doubtful of Outriders<\/em> chances to attract Destiny<\/em> fans is that there is very little historical precedent. Time and time again, the looter-shooter genre has proven to be a very hard one to break into. The delicate balance of reward, grind, satisfaction, and excitement can easily be tilted too far in one direction, leaving players unsatisfied.<\/p>\n

For examples of this, fans don’t even need to look that far into the past. Anthem<\/em>, BioWare’s attempt<\/a> to break into the genre, was\u00a0panned for its repetitive grind and empty world. More recently,\u00a0Counterplay Game’s Godfall<\/em> hit the same problem, receiving only middling reviews following its November 2020 launch. In February, Outriders<\/em> will be stepping onto a field littered with Triple-A titles that failed to achieve their promise. Nevertheless, People Can Fly has made it clear that\u00a0it’s aware of the difficulties in producing a looter shooter that feels satisfying on launch day. Armed with this foresight, and\u00a0many examples to learn from, there’s no reason that Outriders<\/em> can’t find its own place in the genre.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that there are a lot of similarities between Outriders<\/em> and Destiny<\/em><\/a>. The art-style is the most obvious one, with its blend of sci-fi cloaks, shiny super-powers, and sleek weaponry. The classes are also similar, with Outriders<\/em>‘ Devastator, Trickster, and Pyromancer seeming to fill identical roles to Destiny<\/em>‘s Titan, Hunter, and Warlock, although it should be note these comparisons are only surface level. However, this doesn’t mean that the game won’t have something new to offer Destiny<\/em> fans.<\/p>\n

One of the most obvious differences is that Outriders will also offer a fourth class, the Technomancer<\/a>, which has\u00a0its own unique gameplay style. Another\u00a0feature\u00a0that may be of interest to Destiny<\/em> players is the World Tier system, which allows difficulty to scale based on player performance. If People Can Fly can pull this off, the studio will be able to deliver a title where players can always feel challenged, but never overwhelmed. This alone may not be enough to tempt players away from their Guardians, but it should definitely make them take notice.<\/p>\n

Outriders<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0releases\u00a0February 2, 2021 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S, with a Stadia version in development for later in 2021.<\/p>\n
