Outlast 2 Is In Development

[OfficialJsP]

Outlast, the indie horrorfest about an unlucky journalist stumbling through a crumbling, not-at-all-abandoned insane asylum, did pretty well for itself last year. "Is Outlast scary?" our review asked, in the rhetorical way reviewers like to. "Hell yes." And so it's not surprising (but still very good news) that developer Red Barrels has finally confirmed that a sequel is in the works.

 

The news came from Red Barrels co-founder Philippe Morin, who told Bloody Disgusting that while it will be some time yet before the game is ready, the studio is working on it. "After shipping the Xbox One version of Outlast, we took some time to analyze our situation and we quickly realized we had at least another horror game in us," he said. "So, yes, we are working on Outlast 2." Morin didn't reveal anything in the way of details, saying that "part of the fun of playing a horror game is the sense of discovery and progressively understand wtf is going on," but players won't be returning to Mount Massive in the sequel.

 

"The game will be a survival horror experience and it will take place in the same universe as Outlast, but it will have different characters and a different setting," he said. "We might go back to Mount Massive Asylum one day, but for now we have new ideas and themes we’d like to explore and we think we’re cooking up something special."

Very nice, I played the first Outlast, haven't touched the DLC yet, but hopefully the sequel turns out better than the sequel for Amnesia...

Honestly i think horror games are a bad investment, you dont get a lot of hours out of them, thats just my two cents however

coming from someone who has played the game and its DLC, this one has pretty good replayablity. Also it's great for groups of  people, especially when the person playing has no idea what to do.

I dunno, i bought into the trailer hype thinking since its indie it would avoid the normal cliches of the genre, the full game felt way to scripted for me just walking from jumpscare to jumpscare, not done it, about half way but i havent enjoyed it near as much as i was hoping, prefer 3rd person horror

I bought Outlast during the the latest Summer Sale and beat it in a single play through; great game.
