Publisher Square Enix and developer People Can Fly have announced a delay for Outriders.

The cooperative multiplayer shooter fill forgo its planned holiday 2020 release for one a bit later, on February 2nd, 2021.

If you buy the current-gen version of Outriders, we’ll give you the next-gen version for free.”

Square Enix External Studios co-head of studio Lee Singleton added, “We’re taking a little bit longer to ensure players have the best possible experience with Outriders, we’re also including new features like cross-play which will make our game much more accessible on all platforms.”
