Red Barrels, the renowned independent game development studio based in Montréal, has exciting news for survival horror fans. The highly anticipated Early Access for The Outlast Trials is now available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players can immerse themselves in this cooperative horror experience for $29.99 USD.
In The Outlast Trials’ Early Access, players will step into the chilling Murkoff’s Sinyala Facility, where they will face mind-numbing terror either alongside friends or as brave solo adventurers. The Early Access version includes all the main features of a classic Outlast game while introducing a whole new program structure. Players will be pushed to their limits as they navigate new environments, face challenging trials, encounter variators, experience a seasonal program, and explore character and cell customization. The game will gradually unveil full character progression, complete with a narrative introduction and surprising conclusions for each Reagent released.
Philippe Morin, Co-Founder of Red Barrels, expressed the studio’s eagerness to receive feedback from players during The Outlast Trials’ Early Access phase. He stated, “Feedback from players throughout Early Access is key to us delivering a more refined and balanced game. The Outlast Trials is our most challenging production, and we’ll continue developing the game until we feel it delivers our initial vision.”
The Outlast Trials introduces a brand new perspective to the acclaimed Outlast survival horror series. Set within the same terrifying universe as its predecessors, players now have the option to tackle the chilling trials alone or team up with friends in groups of up to four people.
The game takes place during the height of the Cold War era, where players assume the role of test subjects who have been abducted by the enigmatic Murkoff Corporation. Imprisoned within a secret Murkoff facility, players will be subjected to a series of physical and mental ordeals, tormented by iconic characters, and challenged to survive with their sanity intact.
The launch of The Outlast Trials’ Early Access marks an exciting milestone for both Red Barrels and survival horror enthusiasts. With the studio’s dedication to refining the game based on player feedback, fans can expect an even more refined and immersive experience as the development progresses. Embrace the fear and join the nightmarish world of The Outlast Trials in this groundbreaking cooperative survival horror adventure.
