Square Enix and People Can Fly’s upcoming online RPG-shooter Outriders was quickly pegged by many as a mere Destiny-clone, but the fact is, it offers a lot to differentiate itself from Bungie’s series. Thankfully, the newly-released Outriders overview trailer does a good job of explaining its appeal, showing off the game’s impressively large, varied world, freaky enemies, unique classes, deep loot system, surprising focus on story and characters, and more. Check out the full Outriders 101 trailer, below.

　　While we’re at it, Square Enix has also released a new Outriders cinematic trailer, showing off some of the strangest and most impressive you can expect to see in the game.
