Story
Set in the era of the Cold War, human guinea pigs are involuntarily recruited by the good folks at the Murkoff Corporation to test advanced methods of brainwashing and mind control. In a world of distrust, fear, and violence, your morals will be challenged, your endurance tested, and your sanity crushed. All in the name of progress, science, and profit. Red Barrels invites you to experience mind-numbing terror, this time with friends. Work together and maybe you’ll survive The Outlast Trials. It’s always better to shit your pants in good company.
What is happening now
The Outlast Trials is a survival-horror experience across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, following the studio's signature approach to first-person terror. Since launching in March 2024, the game has maintained player engagement through limited-time events; most recently, a Chemical Leak event went live, introducing new environmental hazards and challenges for players to navigate. The ongoing event structure suggests developer Red Barrels is committed to keeping the experience fresh with periodic content additions and evolving threats.
