On April 11th, the nerve-wracking update for the prequel to the groundbreaking 2013 horror game Outlast, titled The Outlast Trials, is set to drop. This fresh content will offer a feast for the most daring of players. The last update, patch 2.1, was released in March and gifted gamers with various free cosmetics, one of which mimics the chilling likeness of the notorious Zodiac killer.

Back in 2024, I found myself immersed in “The Outlast Trials,” a chilling game set during the Cold War where players are unwitting participants in a horrific experiment. Originally slated for release in 2021, the pandemic pushed it back, but its closed beta in 2022 more than made up for the wait with rave reviews. To my surprise,

Through social media posts and a captivating trailer, it’s been officially confirmed that Season 3 of The Outlast Trials, titled Project Relapse, is set to launch on all platforms on April 22nd at 10 am ET. This update introduces a new map called “Suburbs” and a fresh game mode called “Trial Maker”. Additionally, a new adversary, ex-popular figure The Jaeger, will make her debut in a limited-time event. The Outlast Trials stands out as one of the top-tier explorer horror games, alongside titles such as Sons Of The Forest, System Shock, and Amnesia: The Bunker.

The Outlast Trials Project Relapse Update Confirmed for April 22

In late 2024, Red Barrels, the developers behind “Outlast”, experienced an unfortunate cyberattack. Thankfully, no player data was compromised during this incident. Since then, they’ve continued to captivate the horror community with their exceptional work on “Outlast”. The response from fans to Project Relapse has been no exception. One Twitter user applauded the team for their compelling story setup, describing it as some of the finest narrative content in a multiplayer game, while others expressed concern about the character Amelia upon viewing the trailer.

In terms of its gameplay mechanics, The Outlast Trials shares some resemblances with Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical survival game, but it manages to maintain a unique identity within the genre by offering distinct trials. Collaboration is crucial in both games, yet, unlike its counterpart, The Outlast Trials utilizes AI to control the Killers, which may be a sensitive topic given current trends, however, this aspect seems to strengthen the game’s appeal within the Outlast series. The harrowing trials offer a first-person perspective, enhancing the realism of gameplay and preparing players for an intense upgrade in therapy themes that will reach terrifying heights with the next update.
