This week Major Nelson is taking a look at the latest update to the Warframe game, as well as Outriders, the COD Warzone mid-season update and more. Outriders is an upcoming third-person shooter developed by a Polish producer People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. “Humanity’s efforts to colonize the alien planet Enoch went astray as the expedition team encountered a massive energy storm, known as “The Anomaly”, during their search for a mysterious signal–which may indicate hope for humanity’s future. The storm grants both Enoch’s inhabitants and the colonists superpowers.”
Gameplay and Features
Within Outriders, players engage in role-playing elements, and can explore different hub areas, talk to non-playable characters, and complete side missions. The game offers a rich narrative experience with cutscenes that provide a dialogue tree, allowing players to decide the outcome of some conversations, although it does not affect the story’s progression. This feature adds depth to the character interactions and helps in building a more immersive world.
The game can be played solo but also features a three-player cooperative multiplayer mode if preferred. This cooperative mode allows players to team up with friends or other players online to tackle challenging missions and bosses. The synergy between different character classes can be crucial in overcoming tougher enemies, making teamwork an essential aspect of the game.
Character Classes and Abilities
Outriders offers a variety of character classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. Players can choose from classes such as the Trickster, who can manipulate time, the Pyromancer, who controls fire, and the Devastator, who excels in close-range combat and earth manipulation. Each class has its own skill tree, allowing players to customize their abilities and tailor their character to their preferred playstyle.
For example, the Trickster can use abilities like “Slow Trap” to create a bubble that slows down enemies and projectiles, providing a strategic advantage in combat. The Pyromancer can unleash devastating fire-based attacks, such as “Thermal Bomb,” which causes enemies to explode upon death, dealing damage to surrounding foes. The Devastator, on the other hand, can use abilities like “Gravity Leap” to launch into the air and crash down on enemies, dealing massive damage.
Additional Updates and Content
In addition to Outriders, Major Nelson also highlights the latest update to the Warframe game. Warframe, a popular free-to-play action role-playing game, continues to receive regular updates that introduce new content, features, and improvements. The latest update brings new weapons, missions, and gameplay enhancements, keeping the game fresh and engaging for its player base.
Furthermore, the COD Warzone mid-season update is another significant highlight. This update introduces new weapons, game modes, and balance changes to the popular battle royale game. Players can look forward to new challenges and content that will keep them engaged and coming back for more.
