The original Outlast is one of the most important and overall great horror experiences of the modern era. It’s good to know that Red Barrels is returning to the Outlast universe.

“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. We’d love to see the game’s co-op mode serve as a kind of horror version of Portal, but it’s a little too early to say whether or not that’s what we’re going to get out of this. If we had to guess, though, we’d say that this will likely be a more intimate horror experience that is similar in scope to the original Outlast title in the sense that it will see you try to survive the horror of a particular facility. After all, it’s always better to shit your pants with some friends!” “ The Outlast Trials will allow players to face the horrors of the trials by themselves or cooperate with up to 3 other test subjects. “Whilst not a direct sequel to the other critically acclaimed Outlast titles in the series, The Outlast Trials will be set in the same thrilling universe: more precisely, right in the middle of the Cold War era,” Red Barrels said of the new sequel in a press release.

Developer Red Barrels is working on a new Outlast game called The Outlast Trials. It’s not quite what you’re expecting, either.
