Developer Red Barrels took to Twitter over the weekend to provide a brief update on the next entry in the Outlast series in Outlast Trials. While the team still doesn’t have an update in terms of a release date for the game, they provide a couple of concept artworks, as well as saying that they were “working towards a big QA milestone”.
The concept art shared by the team is of “one of the many enemies” in the upcoming game, which is touted as a multiplayer spin-off of the main Outlast series. The title is expected later this year for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
