Red Barrels, the developer of The Outlast Trials, recently faced a setback due to a cyber incident that impacted production. Despite this, they have shared an updated roadmap with exciting new features for Season 2. The team is working hard to keep fans of Murkoff happy during the holidays by introducing a new lobby game, MK-Challenge, and a Geister event.
While a definitive release date for the second major update is yet to be announced, Red Barrels has teased upcoming content to keep players engaged. The Geister event will make a return to the Sinyala facility with a new unexpected twist. Additionally, Season 2 will bring a new map, catalogue, Rig, enemy NPC, and storylines, along with a festive event called Winter Kills.
Following the cyber incident, Red Barrels assured players that their data has not been impacted, although their internal IT systems were compromised. Despite the challenges faced, the team expressed gratitude for the community’s patience and understanding during this time.
For those unfamiliar with The Outlast Trials, it is known for its intense and frantic gameplay that can sometimes border on frustration rather than fear. In a review of the game during its early access release last year, it was given three out of five stars for its overall experience.
As fans eagerly anticipate the new features and updates for Season 2, Red Barrels continues to work diligently to deliver fresh content for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for more information on the release date and upcoming events in The Outlast Trials.
