Ah, sad tidings, friends.
Outlast 2, which we’ve been waiting for with bated breath, is sadly going to be put on hold. Announced today via Outlast‘s FaceBook page, the team has chosen to keep it in the oven just a little bit longer, until first quarter 2017 (which would put it’s release anywhere from January to March) to make it the best experience possible. From their post:
We had to make a difficult decision recently. After weighing our options we’ve decided to postpone Outlast 2’s release until Q1 of 2017.
We want you to know that we listen to your feedback, we see your excitement and we know you care about our work. Our mission as an indie studio is to deliver to you the best, most terrifying, most fulfilling experiences possible. That’s why we’re taking just a little bit more time to make sure our vision for Outlast 2 is in no way compromised and is the experience you deserve.
This is not the type of news we ever want to deliver, but we are so fully committed to the world we’ve built and to our awesome community that we could not, in good conscience, release a game who’s limits haven’t been tested to the extreme.
Thank you for understanding. We promise Outlast 2 will scare the crap out of you.
As much as it sucks to have to wait a little bit longer for it, without a doubt it will be for the best. Outlast 2 promises some pretty awesome stuff, and we cannot wait to hear more.
