Welcome to The Outlast Trials.

Set in the era of the Cold War, The Outlast Trials will allow players to face the horrors that await by themselves or with fellow test subjects.

The Outlast Trials is still in production, and as our co-founder David Chateauneuf puts it: "Now we've done our proof of concept, it is time focus on content creation, variety… and gore."

Nothing regarding platforms/VR compatibility, although the image could lead you to infer that. Suggestion of co-op too, which would be new for the Outlast series.

Cold War era. Interesting.

 

[KoolAid]

Sounds like a GAAS, doesn't it?

 

[Komo]

Sounds fun

 

[anastiel]

big news

 

[Skittles]

VR coop game? Oooo

 

[OnionPowder]

The game is not VR

[AllThingsPurple]

Interesting.

"The Outlast Trials will allow players to face the horrors of the trials by themselves or cooperate with up to 3 other test subjects. After all, it's always better to shit your pants with some friends!"

They replied on their twitter that it's not a VR game.

Edit: Beaten.

I trust Red Barrels will not "ruin" the gameplay with optional multiplayer.

Ehhhh then

 

[That1GoodHunter]

Red Barrels better be ready to impress with gameplay improvements. Endless trial and error chase sequences are not going to cut it.

 

[Matzpxl]

Really hope they improve the story/narrative and overall gameplay. The second game was a bummer in pretty much all aspects.

 

[Voxy]

A coop campaign would be welcome

 

[OldMuffin]

Kind of disappointed they didn't go with a fear or condemned like action horror game. I miss those games and it's a shame no one has tried to replicate them 😔

 

[Alucrid]

horror battle royale

GOOD! Then I will definitely buy it.

 

[MazeHaze]

A GAAS Co-Op experience, exactly what people want from an outlast game.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Glad its not var. Maybe thats in the game or somthing.

 

[Fisty]

Not VR? I feel like an Outlast-themed escape room VR game would be great, kind of like Cube or something. Shame, will keep an eye on it though

Edit: ehhh co-op... sounds ripe for "customization options" and seasons

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I briefly forgot the Trials series was developed by RedLynx, not Red Barrels, so for a moment there I thought we were getting a very odd motorcyle/horror crossover.

I'd play it.

Pretty bad messaging on their part. Game looks like it's advertising VR.

 

[Star-Lord]

So does this mean outlast 3 is also in development?

 

[grosvenor92]

The co-op element sounds interesting but I'll probably stick to playing it single player.

 

[JigglesBunny]

A "co-op VR horror game set during the Cold War in the Outlast universe" sounds like you picked buzzwords out of a hat.

 

[Gush]

Hope it's better than Outlast 2 but co-op doesn't inspire much confidence in me.

 

[Lynchian Anomaly]

I'm curious and open to giving it a chance. I do hope we get an Outlast 3 at some point. I just hope the narrative is better than 2.

 

[Lethologica]

I'm always down for more Co-op/MP horror games.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

Considering the Murkhoff Corporation in Outlast is basically an unironic Aperture Science this kinda makes sense thematically.

 

[HStallion]

Now you and your friends can hide under a bed together until the monster stumbles out of sight.

They're night vision goggles, but yes it really does seem like VR at first glance. The fact that VR seems like an obvious fit for this series doesn't help.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Honestly was hoping for VR since horror is the best in VR bar none!!!

 

[Rosebud]

Horror games in coop are always "fun with friends, terrible alone"

So huh...

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Why? This gonna kill all the tension. A horror game neevr works in MP.

I like the idea. Making Backflips over Psychopaths, should be fun.

 

[SnatcherHunter]

This is giving me Dead Space 3, Condemned 2 vibes.
Multiplayer/Coop Horror never works.

The fact he said gore instead of terror gives me pause.

 

[ThroughtheVoid]

Hopefully they have improved on the gameplay by now, because the same shit each game just becomes tedious.
