The Outlast Trials developers Red Barrels has announced its plans for the end of the year and the first part of 2025, even after a «cyber incident» that initially set the team back.
«We wanted to share our Roadmap to showcase what the rest of 2024 has in store for The Outlast Trials,» Red Barrels shares. «Geister will once again come to the Sinyala facility next week with a new, unexpected twist!» Geister's a program that puts a spin on challenges, and some of the variations here include no player names (you can't tell who is real and who is a fake who'll kill you), enraged enemies, and hallucinations that deplete your health. Features that we can expect to see in the game soon include a catalog featuring old and new Geister items, a new lobby mini-game, and a new MK-Challenge.
After this, the next major content that players can expect is the release of Season 2. New content that'll be released alongside that includes an event called Winter Kills, a map, a catalog, MK-Challenges, a rig, enemy NPCs, a storyline, and more. It definitely looks like this will be the biggest chunk of new content since The Outlast Trials 1.0 was released earlier this year.
«Following the recent cyber incident, our team has been focused on developing Season 2, the new features that will come with it, as well as some new aspects of the game coming next year,» Red Barrels says, and players have wasted no time in telling the devs just how impressed they are.
«This is genuinely an amazing list and very much positively surprising considering the recent incident,» one player says, «I'm looking forward to all the great additions, and thank you!» While everyone else just seems to be really excited about Program Geister coming back: «Geister, my beloved returns!» This is a program consisting of various MK-Challenges with variators that focus on the effects of hallucinations, so it's unnerving, creepy, fun, and exactly the kind of content I like to see around Halloween.
