Outriders developer People Can Fly has announced its second round of layoffs in less than a year, this time affecting “more than 120” people. The move accompanies the cancellation or downsizing of several projects, with the studio blaming “external market pressures”.
Shame, I actually enjoyed that game.
I enjoyed that game as a midlength singleplayer shooter. Never really ran into any coop partners and the writing didn’t seem to want people in large grouped sessions. Nothing about the endgame seemed interesting to me.
Basically, it feels like they just made a decent shooter RPG where you could tweak your abilities, and had someone in management shoehorning in the live service elements.
