Outriders developer People Can Fly and publisher Take-Two Interactive have parted ways with each other on Project Dagger, a new action-adventure game. The game has been in development for the past two years. People Can Fly will also retain the rights to Project Dagger and will continue working on it. Whether the game will find another publisher or be self-published is up in the air right now.
“I assume we will part on good terms, and I don’t see reasons why we couldn’t work with Take-Two on some other project in the future,” says People Can Fly Ceo Sebastian Wojciechowski in a statement.
“We strongly believe in Project Dagger’s potential and are now committed to continue its development within our self-publishing pipeline. The game is still in pre-production — our team is now focusing on closing combat and game loops and migrating from UE4 to UE5,” he continues. “I’m conscious that this decision will add investments on us, but self-publishing is part of our strategy. Of course, we are not ruling out working with a new publisher if this creates a compelling business opportunity.”
People Can Fly is working on seven other projects, including Gemini, which is being published by Square Enix, just like Outriders was, as well as Projects Bifrost and Victoria, which will be self-published. The studio is also working on two virtual reality projects, one called Green Hell VR and a currently unnamed project based on an existing IP in its portfolio. Another game titled Project Red is still in the concept phase.
People Can Fly most recently released the Worldslayer expansion for Outriders this past April and the game is currently available on Xbox Game Pass.

The heart of the project is a trimmed and modified PS4 Slim motherboard, cut down to shrink the system without losing core functionality. To keep the handheld from cooking itself, the design leans on a reworked cooling setup plus active safeguards. An onboard ESP32 running custom firmware monitors temperatures and power behavior, and it can enforce thermal limits and trigger an emergency shutdown.

The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible idea for the longevity of your hardware.
Your Fable reboot preview is here, open world Albion looks gloriously chaotic
The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.
