Movie audiences are set to be taken into a new twisted world, with the Outlast video game franchise now getting the live-action movie treatment. The first game was released in 2013 and took players into the halls of Mount Massive Asylum, a psychiatric hospital overrun by its tortured and monstrous inmates. With the first game's success, Outlast has become a larger franchise, with 2017's Outlast 2, 2024's spin-off titled The Outlast Trials, and a third game in development since 2017. 302v35

More information about The Outlast Trials was revealed at Gamescom's Opening Night Live event with a gory new trailer, and a closed beta announcement. It had been almost a year since fans of Outlast last received any news surrounding the survival horror title as part of Gamescom's 2021 Opening Night Live event.

Gamescom 2021 has revealed a horrifying gameplay trailer for co-op-enabled survival game The Outlast Trials. As the third installment in Red Barrels' bone-chilling Outlast series, the release will allow multiple players to experience terror together. The Outlast Trials was first announced back in December 2019, although the prequel has long remained a mystery.

In December of 2019, Red Barrels, the studio behind one of horror genres' classics, Outlast and Outlast 2, revealed that a new game was coming to the occult horror series, called The Outlast Trials. The new game announcement came from a social media post on Red Barrels' official Facebook page, but even some hardcore Outlast fans noticed not much about the game was talked about after that, which seemed odd considering the first two games gathered a lot of attention from horror fans and gamers alike. Even after an official trailer for The Outlast Trials was released on June 13th, it didn't seem like the game was getting the hype that the other two received.

Developer Red Barrels adds four-player co-op to Outlast with the latest title in the horror franchise, The Outlast Trials, coming in 2021. The original Outlast released in 2013 to rave reviews, aweing audiences with its stunning visuals and uncompromising focus on pure horror. The game was an early success in the "hide-and-seek" school of survival horror, where enemies could not be confronted directly and needed to be avoided through stealth mechanics.

The Outlast Trials, the next entry in the survival horror Outlast series, will bring co-op to the franchise for the first time. Developer Red Barrels first hinted at a new Outlast game on October 31, sharing a cryptic image of two hands and the tagline “Where freedom ends” on Twitter.
