The Outlast Trials is still in the early stages of production and we are now ramping up the production process. “Our team is hard at work creating a new experience that will bring fear and anxiety to millions of players, whether they go through the experiments alone or with friends.” “We are proud to reveal the title and the first image of the game to our great community and fans,” said David Chateauneuf, Red Barrels co-founder. After all, it’s always better to shit your pants with some friends. Whilst not a direct sequel to the other Outlast titles in the series, this new game will be set in the same thrilling universe: more precisely, right in the middle of the Cold War era. The Outlast Trials will allow you to face the horrors of the trials by yourself or cooperate with up to 3 other test subjects. Like what the game itself says, “It’s better to soil your pants in good company.The Red Barrels team is excited to announce our latest project in the Outlast universe. If anything, the new mechanics breathes a new life into the franchise. Purists of the franchise might say this isn’t Outlast anymore, which is true to a certain degree, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fun game. The Outlast Trials is an Outlast game where players aren’t alone and are able to defend themselves. Fortunately, it allows solo gameplay for those who prefer it. This latest installment is far different. The first Outlast games were hide-and-seek simulators where wits and the environment were the players’ only weapons. However, the elements it borrows from other genres can turn off fans of the franchise who mostly enjoyed the horror of being helpless and alone. Technically and visually, this game is the best in the series. The wicked trials take place in several set pieces such as the Sunshine Orphanage, an amusement park, a doll workshop, and replicas of locations outside the facility. It introduces two new main villains in the form of Mother Gooseberry, a Leatherface-like murderous woman, and Coyle, a psychopathic former police officer. It also has action elements, as players are given tools to defend themselves, such as throwables that can slow down or stun enemies.īeing a prequel, this co-op horror game enriches the Outlast lore. Unlike its predecessors, it offers multiplayer gameplay, which is miles different from the solo experience many players enjoyed. Red Barrels has taken gameplay elements from other genres that make The Outlast Trials an entirely different experience compared to their first two Outlast titles.
