As mankind bleeds out in the trenches of Enoch, you’ll create your own Outrider and embark on a journey across a hostile planet. With rich storytelling spanning a diverse world, you’ll leave behind the slums and shanty towns of the First City and traverse forests, mountains and deserts in pursuit of a mysterious signal.
In the 30 years that have passed since the Human colonists’ arrival, the once peaceful wildlife and environments of Enoch have hyper-evolved from exposure to the Anomaly, turning nearly every living creature into something designed to kill.
The untamed frontiers of Enoch are filled with dangers that will test the Outriders fortitude to the limit.
Based on internal data, Square Enix announced that Outriders surpassed 3.5 million unique players worldwide in its first month (April 1 – May 1, 2021), putting it on track to become the company’s next major franchise.
