Red Barrels Studio has provided a lot of updates involving the Outlast franchise on their Facebook page! The big piece of news is that eventually, the studio will be creating Outlast 3, though it isn’t in development quite yet. In the meantime, though, they are working on another Outlast universe title, one that the developers believe will be “a pretty big challenge”.
Here’s the relevant snippets from the Facebook update:
About the future, many of you have been requesting a DLC. While the first Outlast was made with the idea of a DLC in mind, that was not the case for Outlast 2. We’ve considered many options, but none of them felt appropriate for a DLC. Outlast 2 was created to make you feel like a rat in a maze, without any knowledge of what’s outside the maze.
We will, at some point, make an Outlast 3 and answers will be given. You can also check out The Murkoff Account’s epilogue. It takes places right after the events of the second game and offers some insight into the events in the game.
Currently 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. We can’t say more right now, we first need to make sure we can make it work. Like I mentioned, we strive to be risk-takers and this one is a pretty big challenge. If all goes well, we’ll soon be able to reveal more.
What do you think of the Outlast franchise?
