The Outlast Trials is an upcoming first-person psychological horror survival video game developed and published by Red Barrels. It is the third installment in the Outlast series, serving as a prequel to the first two games and features test subjects in a mysterious Cold War experiment. The game is scheduled for release in 2022.

Development

Outlast 3 was announced in December 2017, though no time frame or target platforms were confirmed.[2] During this announcement, Red Barrels said that because they could not easily add downloadable content for Outlast 2 due to its structure, they have a smaller separate project related to Outlast that will release before Outlast 3.[2] Red Barrels also described the game as a "TV series". The development team of the game had around 40 people.[3]

The Outlast Trials was teased in October 2019 and is not a direct sequel to Outlast 2. It is about test subjects for the Murkoff Corporation in a mysterious Cold War experiment that is set in the same universe of the previous games. Red Barrels co-founder David Chateauneuf said "the proof-of-concept is now complete and the game's team is now in development mode".[4]

Marketing

On December 4, 2019, Red Barrels released a teaser image of the game.[5] On June 13, 2020, a teaser trailer was released, announcing a release for 2021.[6] However, it was announced in August 2021 that the game has been delayed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
