Square Enix reportedly canceled the development of Outriders 2, a sequel to the RPG shooter, despite it being nearly finished and under the project name 'Project Gemini'. The cancellation, attributed to reasons outside the studio's control, marks a significant setback for fans and the developer, which is now working on other projects like Gears of War: E-Day.
Outriders 2, a sequel to the 2021 loot shooter developed by People Can Fly, was nearly finished but was canceled due to disputes with publisher Square Enix, leaving the future of the project uncertain amid the company's shift towards bigger franchises and away from riskier projects.
A nearly finished sequel to Outriders, titled Project Gemini, was canceled by People Can Fly in June, marking a significant loss for fans of the game, which had a strong start but declined due to technical issues and lack of ongoing monetization strategies. The cancellation ended plans for a potential franchise despite the game's promising foundation and initial success.
