The fact that I’ll be plagued by dark spectres for many seasons to come fills me with a strange joy.
I feel comforted in the knowledge that Red Barrels has poured its heart and soul into The Outlast Trials With three programs available to play through, a cluster of tasks and challenges that will provide the player with various ways of completing the trials, and the prospect of seasonal refreshes, there seems to be a whole lot of content planned for this next installment in the Outlast franchise with Charbonneau banking on “several seasons in the future”. In a preview for The Outlast Trials, game director Alex Charbonneau described how “this is the beginning of something new, creating an environment which is a living and breathing world.” This next step for Red Barrels has been carefully thought out, intending that this survival horror game cements itself within the horror community and will be around for a long time. It's the developers’ first step into a live service game.
The Outlast Trials marks a new beginning for Red Barrels and its impressive IP in ways other than its fantastic multiplayer. While you can go back and help your fellow players, many may choose not to for the sake of self-preservation. In the chaos of the experiments, you are constantly separated from your team by aggressive test subjects and environmental traps. It is this fear that players will experience in the trials when the security of a team is suddenly taken from you at unexpected moments. This sudden isolation makes the horror of facing the cult alone unbearable. In Outlast 2, you start the campaign with your partner, who is quickly taken from you by a malicious cult. In this way, it’s not all that dissimilar from the original titles. Even in a team, players will regularly find themselves cut off from the group, isolated in an unknown location. Despite having a coop option, this survival horror game straddles the line between true terror and the joys of playing multiplayer brilliantly. However, The Outlast Trials takes the terror from the first few titles and modernizes it in a multiplayer environment.
