Like I mentioned, we strive to be risk-takers and this one is a pretty big challenge. We can’t say more right now, we first need to make sure we can make it work. ()Ĭurrently we’re working on something a lot of you have been asking for… It won’t be a sequel to Outlast or Outlast 2, but it will be a distinct experience set in the Outlast universe. It takes places right after the events of the second game and offers some insight into the events in the game. You can also check out The Murkoff Account’s epilogue. We will, at some point, make an Outlast 3 and answers will be given. Outlast 2 was created to make you feel like a rat in a maze, without any knowledge of what’s outside the maze. We’ve considered many options, but none of them felt appropriate for a DLC. While the first Outlast was made with the idea of a DLC in mind, that was not the case for Outlast 2. Hopefully, we’ll manage to entertain you for years to come.Ībout the future, many of you have been requesting a DLC. We strive to create unique experiences and take risks. Red Barrels was nothing more than a dream, but with a lot of blood, sweat and beers it has now become a small, fully independent studio with a kickass team who can work miracles.
