Outriders, one of the most awaited shooting titles this year, just got released on April 1 for Windows and consoles. It is a co-op role-playing third-person shooter title developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. Early this year, a demo of the game was released and it has brought some real excitement to the gaming community.

Outriders is set in a futuristic world, where the Earth is no longer a place for humans to live because of all the wars, climate disasters. All the remaining humans decided to combine their resources to form an Enoch Colonization Authority to live on Enoch, a distant planet.

When first entering Outriders, players will be able to customize the appearance of their own Outrider character. This process doesn't matter too much because you can change your appearance later in the game.

Next, you will have to choose one of the four given Outriders characters. Each character will have their own traits that fit different playstyles. Also, you cannot pick again after this so you need to think really carefully about which Outriders character you will choose.

In this article, we will show you the details about Outriders characters so you can make the best pick for yourself.
