Outlast Trials teases new enemy, plus new content coming soon (Update)

[Update: Red Barrels have now said that a new update for Outlast Trials will begin rolling out on October 26. A teaser trailer reveals a new map called the Courthouse.

While it doesn’t specifically say, it’s likely that this Halloween update will also come with the new stalker enemy mentioned yesterday. The patch will also implement additional MK challenges as well as some special rewards.

As with anything that’s ever been associated with the Outlast series, this new map has all the creepy and violent accouterments that Red Barrels has become known for over the years. It’s all good stuff”]

In the run-up to the scariest time of the year (no, not Black Friday…although…), many horror games are preparing to bring more spooks. No more is this true than with Outlast Trials, the newest installment in Red Barrels’ twisted series.

In a recent post on Twitter/X, the developer has teased a new “objective enemy” that’s being added to the game, specifically the Trial Map: Courthouse. This is all in conjunction with an upcoming update for the Outlast title. While there isn’t a release date for the update yet, the tweet says it’ll be coming by the end of October, and we all know what that means.

As for the new enemy themselves, the disturbing image depicts a man in pain, stripped of all but his underwear and wearing a makeshift helmet. Wires crisscross their exposed body, inserted into numerous parts, and the words “SHE’S GUILTY” can be seen scratched onto their leg.

Well you weren’t expecting a unicorn, were you?

Alongside this, Red Barrels has restated some details about the upcoming console ports. Yes, Outlast Trials is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PS5. However, it’s also getting Xbox One and PS4 versions, and will also have crossplay with PC.

Sadly, there’s no definitive date for when these ports will be happening. All we know is the studio plans to unleash them sometime in “early 2024.” Hopefully we’ll have more information soon.

As we inch closer to Halloween, you can look forward to the new Outlast game rolling out new maps and cosmetics, a new mini-game for the lobby, and that happy chap above.
