Outriders – the upcoming co-op loot shooter from People Can Fly, the studio behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm, and published by Square Enix – was previously scheduled to launch on February 2, 2021, but that date’s now been pushed back to April. Instead, we’re getting a free demo in February to help whet some appetites ahead of the proper Outriders release date.

“We believe it’s important that players get to experience a new IP like Outriders before release, so that you can decide for yourselves whether the game is something you wish to pre-order, purchase, or play,” the devs say in the announcement. “For this reason we’re excited to announce that on February 25, 2021 we will be publishing a free demo.”

That demo will include all four classes, and let you play through the first few hours of the game, alone or in co-op. Any progress you make will carry over to the full release of Outriders on April 1, 2021. (“No joke!”)
