Red Barrels is definitely working on Outlast 2! This is great news/terrible news...
Red Barrels, developer of the infamous horror game Outlast, have confirmed that they're working on a sequel. It should come as no surprise since the first game was so incredibly well-received by fans and critics. Although I'm not sure how anyone could get past how damn terrifying the game is.
Co-founder Philippe Morin confirmed development to Bloody Disgusting, "After shipping the XB1 version of Outlast, we took some time to analyze our situation and we quickly realized we had at least another horror game in us. So, yes, we are working on Outlast 2."
Morin did not mention a possible release date, and it's probably too early for all that business. We probably won't see a new Outlast game until 2016.
Here's an excerpt of our review of the first game for funsies:
You’ll encounter instances of cannibalism at every turn, with a new enemy who screams “FEED ME!” as he chases you down the claustrophobic corridors with a buzz saw. You’ll see a crazed inmate masturbating over a pile of dead bodies. And then of course, there is the confrontation with a new adversary called The Groom, which leads into one of the most unnerving and utterly shocking POV moments in the entire horror genre at large.
