The next level we saw takes the Outrider and their team to an abandoned fishing village as Tiago, another teammate, provides information about how we might reach a fortress controlled by the enemy Insurgents. That's going to put players at odds with a new big bad, an Altered called Ereshkigal, who looks pretty scary but who didn't pop up in the portion we played. We learned a lot about the Anomaly and its origins in the base game of Outriders, and with the survival of humanity on the line, there's not much choice but to go on another road trip across Enoch in an attempt to save the world. The story quickly becomes one of trying to find a way to do something about the Anomaly, after Channa, another of your team, experiences a vision of the future that provides a new lead. Not long after, the player's group returns to Rift Town, the primary home of their allies, to find it wrecked by storms. We immediately saw the threat of those new storms in an icy level at the expansion's start, where the volatile weather was so powerful, flying creatures were freezing and falling out of the sky.
Ereshkigal is apparently the most powerful Altered out there, and you're going to need to deal with her in Worldslayer. All the work you've been doing to capture pods filled with information, weapons, seeds, and other incredibly useful items that can help humanity survive will soon be for nothing, because if the Anomaly keeps growing, it's going to wipe everyone out.
The Anomaly is a strange, deadly storm that routinely ravages Enoch and vaporizes people-although it also occasionally mutates them into godlike superhumans, of which you are one-and it's growing in both size and power. The good news, however, is that you don't have to have done those things: You can boost your character up to the base game's level cap and start the new content immediately, so if you're new but have friends who are Outriders vets, you can join them in Worldslayer without waiting.Īnyway, hunting down those pods has also supplied new data for Abraham Zahedi, the scientist you recruited to your band of heroes in the main game, and with it, he discovers some new, upsetting information. The Worldslayer story assumes you've been doing Outriders endgame activity, which has you running around the world, picking up drop pods falling from the colony ship still in orbit around the planet Enoch. Worldslayer starts with a campaign that continues the story players wrapped up in the base game of Outriders, picking up almost exactly where it left off. We played about 90 minutes of Worldslayer, although that was entirely too little to actually get a real sense of the expansion, both because it adds a lot of content, and because its changes will take time for players to really sift through. The expansion makes major adjustments to character progression, the difficulty-tuning Challenge system, the loot chase, and the endgame, reworking a lot about how Outriders works to make it a game you can sink more time into-and that's to say nothing of the expansion's new story.
