All good things come in threes? This wisdom often applies, but in the case of Outlast, the developers at Red Barrels want to add a little more. With Outlast, the DLC Outlast: Whistleblower and Outlast II, which were combined into Outlast Trinity in 2017, there are already three installments of the intense horror series available.
The first-person titles not only stay in your memory with their oppressive atmosphere and violence, but also with their extraordinary gameplay.
This is characterized by the fact that the protagonist cannot defend himself with a weapon, but only has a camera with night vision. This makes the numerous threats even more dangerous and in the end you have no choice but to hide and run to stay alive.
A new chapter
It has been known since 2019 that the Outlast series will get a new installment. Meanwhile, more details about The Outlast Trials are known, which will be released in 2021 for PC. This is not a true sequel, but rather a story set in the same universe.
The time of the Cold War was chosen as the setting, in which the Murkoff Corporation carried out terrible experiments on human test subjects dealing with possibilities of mind control. Unlike in the older installments of the series, you will not have to face the horrors of the game alone this time, because The Outlast Trials focuses on co-op gameplay.
How this looks in detail and whether the game will also be released soon for consoles is currently not known. Keyfuchs keeps you up to date on The Outlast Trials and offers you the opportunity to buy keys for your favorite platform early on.
