Outlast Trials’ next update will come with new maps, cosmetics, and more

The spooky season is not far now and many will be looking towards the horror genre for what’s coming up. In light of this, Outlast Trials studio Red Barrels has announced some exciting things happening with its twisted co-op game.

The studio dropped a couple of posts recently on Twitter/X. One of them mentions the new edition of the Murkoff Collections comic. This is then followed by the announcement that a new update for The Outlast Trials is imminent.

While details are scarce at the minute, Red Barrels did wish to respond to questions by outlining some of the things you can look forward to. We’ll be seeing a new trial map, some additional variators and cosmetics, as well as a new mini-game for the lobby. Plus more.

Console editions on the way

If that wasn’t enough, a further post says the team has been “working on getting Trials on PS5, Xbox S/X, and older gen (PS4/Xbox One)”, and PC crossplay. It’s looking like the studio is looking to achieve this by early 2024.

As for the Outlast Trials update, we’re not quite sure when that’s going to start rolling out. However, given the time of year, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see it aim for a Halloween launch or thereabouts.

The developer also says that the company has now hit 50 employees, which means there may be some more goodies on the way for the early access of the newest Outlast entry. Hopefully, we’ll have more word on that in the near future.
