Red Barrels’ Outlast series has been one of (if not the most) scariest games of the decade and the next step in the franchise is to bring your friends along for the scares.
The Outlast Trials will be a 4 player horror experience set in the middle of the Cold War era where players will take on the role of test subjects taking part in an unknown experiment. While the game isn’t technically Outlast 3 (which Red Barrels said they will eventually make) the story will still be set in the same universe.
For those who don’t have 3 other friends to join in the scares or think that friends will just hold them back when attempting to survive whatever twisted scares the development team can come up with, The Outlast Trials will include a single-player mode.
“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,” said David Chateauneuf, Red Barrels co-founder.
The Outlast Trials is in the early stages of production according to an official announcement with more details promised soon.
