Given that players will have over a month to play around with what People Can Fly describes as the first few hours of the game, there should be plenty of time to test out every class in Outriders. There could possibly be balance or polish changes between the demo and the full release, but the builds will need to at least be within striking distance in order for a seamless transition from one to the other to take place. On top of this, giving the demo permanent progression also means that players can be assured that what they get to play on February 25th will be representative of what will release on April 1st. It's a huge step that could get players started on some strong footing right from launch, leading to a thriving community that can quickly jump to the co-op endgame that the genre emphasizes.Ĭonsidering how often Outriders is compared to Destiny, this could already put People Can Fly's new game a step above, thanks to the fact that none of Bungies early alphas or betas have allowed players to transfer anything into the full game. This could let players burn through the first few hours of the game in the demo, but not be forced to repeat the process if early gameplay is enough to convince them to jump on board at release. The best surprise that People Can Fly has for the Outriders demo is that players will be able to keep their progress when moving from this early preview to the full game.
