Outriders is a looter shooter from People Can Fly that offers wild powers, an RPG-influenced narrative, and some pretty impressive weapon designs. Following the positive feedback given after a successful Outriders demo period, Square Enix has shown off even more about the upcoming shooter in the company's most recent showcase. 

"Running from a planet that considers us prey" opens up the latest Outriders video showing off more about the dangerous wildlife that players will encounter. Outriders is a large world that players will have to survive in, but bandits aren't the only dangerous aspect that will become a problem. The video also explores more areas of this "Hell off Earth," including a closer look at combat and the different biomes players will endure. 

Enoch is far from a cozy homestead; it's dangerous, it's bloody, and it's a place that will test your mettle in combat. Luckily, we can take to this world with friends as a co-op adventure or solo for those that like a challenge. 

We couldn't get enough Outriders with our previous hands-on time, both in and of the demo. If you like games like Borderlands, Fallout, Destiny, Gears of Wars, and even Diablo, then Outriders is definitely something you should keep your eyes on: 

Missed what else has been revealed? You can learn more about the new Life is Strange game with True Colors right here, including who our new protagonist is and the impressive powers that she aims to control. 

You can take on the dangerous world of Enoch when Outriders arrives on April 1 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players. Check out what else is new in the world of Outriders with our game hub, including how it's coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one! 

Many game franchises are tapping into the anime world to give the stories, worlds, and characters to life. Scarlet Nexus, the upcoming JRPG by Bandai Namco, seems like an obvious fit, as the game already looks like an anime. The new show is scheduled to land sometime this year. The best way to announce a new anime is obviously with a teaser trailer, so you can take a look at that right here!

Other brands like Castlevania, Dota, and more are already leveraging their gaming IPs to carve out space in the animation world. Remember Captain N: The Game Master? Or the old Zelda cartoon? Games are cool in the animation world! Scarlet Nexus is a game about using mind powers and combining them with swords and weapons, so that’s pretty much the most anime thing ever already. In the game, players unlock brain powers, command psychokinesis, and fling cars and other giant objects. In typical JRPG fashion

The show is being produced by Sunrise, known for many popular and lauded anime offerings, including Cowboy Bebop, Witch Hunter Robin, Gundam, and more. Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime titles out there so if you haven’t seen it, it’s probably time to go watch it before the Netflix live action series pulls a Death Note on it. 

While there isn’t a ton of information on the Scarlet Nexus anime series available right now, you can check out a few of the characters and voice actors over on the official site here. We know that Junya Enoki is voicing Yuito Sumeragi and that Asame Seto is voicing Kasane Randall. Without the context of the game, it’s hard to tell exactly what kind of importance these characters have to the bigger picture, but given that they’re highlighted it’s a fair assumption that they’ll be the main protagonists of the adventure, using their “brain punk” abilities to wreak havoc on otherworldly aberrations. 

Are you excited for Scarlet Nexus as a game, an anime, or maybe even both? What games would you like to see get the anime treatment? Let us know in the comments!
