As of now, there is no official confirmation that Outriders was canceled due to a "lack of communication" between People Can Fly and Square Enix. In fact, Outriders remains an active and ongoing project. The game, developed by People Can Fly in collaboration with Square Enix and published by Square Enix, was released in 2021 and has continued to receive updates, new content, and expansions. There have been reports and rumors in the past—particularly in 2023 and 2024—about internal challenges at People Can Fly, including staff departures and concerns about the direction of future Outriders content. Some former employees have spoken publicly about communication issues and dissatisfaction with the game’s post-launch support, but these were not confirmed as the root cause of any cancellation. Importantly, Outriders has not been canceled. Square Enix continues to support the game, and there have been announcements about future content, including the upcoming Outriders 2, which is in development and expected to build upon the original’s foundation. So, to clarify: Outriders is not canceled. There have been allegations and rumors about communication issues between People Can Fly and Square Enix, but these have not been officially confirmed as the reason for any cancellation. The franchise is still active, and a sequel is in development. Always rely on official statements from Square Enix or People Can Fly for accurate information.
