Get ready for a spine-chilling experience as Outlast series developer Red Barrels announces that its multiplayer horror game The Outlast Trials will launch on PS5 in early 2024. Following its debut on PC Early Access, the game is set to expand its reach to previous and current generation consoles.
Outlast Trials comes to PlayStation 5 on March 5, 2024
Scheduled for release on March 5, 2024, The Outlast Trials will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, offering a wider audience the opportunity to explore the terrifying world created by Red Barrels. The decision to bring the game to both the latest and previous console generations ensures that a wide range of players can participate in this terrifying experience.
Unlike its predecessors, The Outlast Trials brings a multiplayer feature to the horror series. Players can face mind-blowing horror alone or team up with friends as they progress through terrifying trials designed by the Murkoff Corporation. Survival is promised upon completion of therapy, but the question remains: Will the players emerge from this harrowing experience unscathed or forever changed?
The game is set against the backdrop of the Cold War era and adds a historical layer to the horror narrative. Players find themselves reluctant participants recruited by the Murkoff Corporation as guinea pigs to test their advanced brainwashing and mind control methods. In a world dominated by distrust, fear and violence, players will confront moral dilemmas, test their endurance and face challenges that threaten their sanity. The overarching theme revolves around progress, science, and profit, highlighting the dark and ethically questionable experiments performed in the name of progress.
Outlast Trials invites players to step into a world where survival is not just about running from monsters, but also about navigating the complex web of human psychology and the moral implications of scientific progress. With the game also available on consoles, horror enthusiasts can prepare for an immersive and cooperative nightmare awaiting them in early 2024.
