Oftentimes, when updates arrive for a video game players, are more than cautious. Too many occasions have left games with less content than would be expected from a proper expansion.
That doesn't seem to be the case with Outriders because Square Enix seems to be going all out with their new expansion. Titled Outriders: Worldslayer, it is touted by the creative team and press release as a "massive evolution" over the initial gameplay.
There is a new campaign, loot, ending, and new features to boot with this new Outriders chapter. With Worldslayer already having been released, we wanted to bring you the press release and information as soon as possible in order to help make your decision.
Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, had the following to say about the game expansion/update.
“With OUTRIDERS WORLDSLAYER we’re taking all the best parts of the original OUTRIDERS and making them bigger, better, and faster with more things to do. You’ve never seen intense shooter action like this combined with this level of class customization, freedom to play how you want, and incredible twisted and beautiful loot. We’re really proud of the work our talented teams at People Can Fly and Square Enix have put into this new evolution of OUTRIDERS, and we’re excited about the future of the OUTRIDERS franchise”.
