People Can Fly, the studio behind games like Bulletstorm and the Painkiller franchise, just announced their latest action title this evening at Square Enix's E3 event. It's called Outriders and it's looking to be a sci-fi shooter featuring drop-in-drop-out co-op for 1 to 3 players.

It's currently in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC and is targeting a Summer 2020 release window. People Can Fly says that they have "over 200 developers at four international studios working on this project."

A premiere trailer was shown off tonight that seems to show off some unique looking environments, larger than life enemies, and special abilities that may remind you of some Destiny-like abilities.

There are two videos to check out. The first is the announcement trailer while the second is a behind the scenes developer video that provides a good deal of additional information.
