Thankfully, it was fairly well received and we’re getting this sequel. It leaned too hard on the grimdark edge that the first game touched on but never fully embraced. The run and hide gameplay was tight and dread-inducing.Ī sequel, Outlast 2 was released a few years later and I personally did not like it. It was the first game to work off of and improve the formula popularized by Amnesia. It took you to some severely dark places. It saw you playing as a journalist investigating strange claims coming out of the Mount Massive Asylum. The original Outlast was released in 2013 to great acclaim. Things as simple as holding out a hand to help another player jump over a gap show great promise in reiterating the Outlast formula to appeal to a new playerbase. The gameplay showcased some of the team tactics that will be on display in the full game. The gameplay trailer ends with the tagline “we’re all in this together”. It looks like we’re returning to the Mount Massive Asylum, or an area very much like it, for these trials. The new gameplay shown in a trailer today showed off more of the world of The Outlast Trials. A multiplayer Outlast game featuring the ability to actually hurt the monstrosities that are hunting you. I can do without Outlast 2 honestly, but that’s a personal preference.

The Outlast Trials is Multiplayer Outlast, Coming Out in 2022
