Outriders, a new class-based looter shooter developed by People Can Fly (Gears of War Judgment, Bulletstorm) and published by Square Enix, launched a free demo last week on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The full game will be out on April 1st. The demo contains roughly three hours of questing content from the very start of the game. After creating an Outrider in a somewhat-limited character creator, the story begins with an interstellar voyage to find the next home for humanity after society's collapse and Earth's destruction. The planet Enoch is deemed a worthy candidate, and an expedition is launched in the attempt to colonize the planet for human habitation. However, not all goes according to plan, "Anomaly storms" devastate the campaign and "alter" the protagonist, giving them superhuman abilities -- but it's not before they're locked away in cryostasis for 30 years. Upon release, the Outrider discovers that humanity has settled on Enoch, but the vicious environmental hazards make resources incredibly scarce and various factions, including those altered by anomaly storms, war against each other for control. It seems the problems that plagued Earth in it's final moments have only been transposed to Enoch. It's here where

A plethora of Final Fantasy VII related news dropped yesterday after the Sony State of Play presentation. Square Enix had announced Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Episode Yuffie for PlayStation 5 and two new mobile games, Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier and Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, with the former being a RPG battle royale and the latter being the entire Final Fantasy VII storyline -- spinoffs and all -- explained in one singular title. Amidst all this exciting news, a Famitsu article featuring an interview with director Tetsuya Nomura was also dropped, and with it came a bunch of interesting tidbits of information regarding the three new titles.

In regards to the newly added Photo Mode to Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Nomura was asked if it would be similar to Kingdom Hearts III ReMind's photo mode.

PlayStation Plus subscribers who have yet to try out Final Fantasy VII Remake will be able to do just that in just a few days. Sony's announced the game will be coming to the service for the month of March, nearly a year after its original launch on PlayStation 4. This release doesn't come without some caveats, however. Those with the PS Plus version of the game will not be eligible to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version when it drops on June 10. That means if you want the next generation upgrades, you'll at least need to find a way to eventually purchase a physical or digital copy of the game on PS4.
