Outlast 2 postponed to Q1 2017
Outlast 2 will not be out this fall as originally planned. Instead, the survival horror from indie studio Red Barrels will arrive in early 2017.
We won’t be seeing Outlast. In a Facebook post they wrote:
We want you to know that we listen to your , we see your excitement and we know you care about our work. Our mission as an indie studio is to deliver to you the best, most terrifying, most fulfilling experiences possible. That’s why we’re taking just a little bit more time to make sure our vision for Outlast 2 is in no way compromised and is the experience you deserve.
While the events in the original Outlast were taking place in an asylum in Colorado, Outlast 2 is going to introduce a new story set somewhere in rural parts of Arizona. The inspiration for its plot was the Jonestown Massacre of 1978, when over 900 of the Peoples Temple sect were convinced to commit suicide by the group’s leader Jim Jones. In the game you will play as a journalist, Blake Langermann. Together with his wife Lynn he decides to investigate a mysterious suicide of a pregnant woman. However, as their helicopter crashes, Blake discovers that Lynn went missing. Armed only with his camera, the man has to face mind-twisting horrors in order to find his wife.
