Outriders ditches traditional post-campaign formula with Expeditions

Outriders is ditching the games as a service mentality and offering a complete experience straight out of the box.

Today’s Outriders broadcast focused on the post-campaign content for the upcoming RPG-shooter. People Can Fly stopped short of revealing spoilers but explained that once you complete you complete the 40-hour(ish) campaign, you’ll discover mysterious points of interest across Enoch.

These areas, known as Expeditions, will offer new mysteries and stories to be discovered, precious resources to obtain more powerful gear and a place for advanced players to test their skills. Check out the latest trailer highlighting Outriders‘ post-campaign content.

There’s a lot to be excited about with Outriders based on this video. For starters, People Can Fly isn’t shying away from the fact that Outriders isn’t a “games as a service.” As we’ve seen so often in the past with these Games as a Service, the promise of a never-ending stream of regularly updated content rarely lives up to expectations.

People Can Fly is straight-up acknowledging that Outriders is a complete experience out of the box at launch. You won’t have to wait months for content to release at a snail’s pace.

Unlike other online GAAS titles, Expeditions also aren’t recycled material. You aren’t playing through the same map with slightly tweaked settings. These are “big, handcrafted new levels with their own mechanics, challenges and storyline.”
