In an interview with fellow horror site Bloody Disgusting, Philippe Morin, co-founder of Red Barrels, has announced that Outlast 2 is definitely coming. When asked about the team’s next game, Morin stated that after shipping Outlast on Xbox One in June, they decided to go ahead with a full 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. 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,” Morin told Bloody Disgusting. “We’re still a small indie studio (12 people), so we’ll need a little bit of time to ship our next game, but hopefully it will be worth it.”
When asked about the game’s story and connection to Mount Massive Asylum, Morin said the following: “Our goal is still to give players first and foremost an emotional ride, so every design decision will be based on how it affects the experience and if it serves it.”
Having loved Outlast and its DLC, Whistleblower, I have to say that I’m very excited. Confirmation of a sequel makes me very happy, and as I’ve written about before, the possibilities for where the story could go are vast. Here’s hoping we hear a little more about Outlast 2 in the coming months.
