The Outlast Trials News

New Update | Deep Burn Limited-Time Event, New MK-Challenges & more

[h2]Greetings Reagents,[/h2][p][/p][p]Prepare for a world in flames with the new Limited-Time Event Deep Burn. Face hellish Trials filled with fiery hazards like fire mines, flame throwers, and an increased presence of the Pitcher: Murkoff’s resident and unhinged pyromaniac. Along with the fiery new hazards introduced in Season 4.1, two new MK-Challenges will be available to all Reagents. In Traffick the Product, players invade the territory of sinister manbaby mafioso, Franco Barbi, in order to flood his streets with a new experimental opioid devised by Murkoff. Meanwhile, Disrupt the Neighborhood aims to break down the barriers that divide us, literally, to encourage intrusion from outsiders. After all, without any fences, we’re all free to be each other’s neighbor![/p][p][/p][h2]This update includes[/h2]

Hotfix Patch Notes | Project Diarchy - July 16th

[h3]Greetings Reagents,[/h3][p][/p][p]We are deploying a small patch to fix some issues that have been reported since our latest update!
[/p][h3]The issues our team has fixed in this patch:[/h3]

[p]Reverted matchmaking changes. No more trial fill option.[/p]

[p]Increased Release Tokens granted.[/p]

[p]Legacy Reborn Trophies will now be granted when you reach the required release count for players who released at least once prior to version 4.0. For example- if you release your Reagent 5 times before the 4.0 update, you only need to Rebirth and release 5 more times to acquire the Legacy 10 release Trophy. Those Trophies are granted automatically, no need to go through the task system. [/p]
- [p]When completing the new Tasks for Rebirth, if you had never Rebirthed in the past or if you reached a certain point in your progress, you will obtain both the old and new Trophies as you keep releasing Reagents.[/p]

[p]Fix the Ultra 2 variator not blocking some item variators from being picked. It's already limiting items enough as is.[/p]

[p]Fix a focus issue when using a gamepad in the group options submenu.[/p]

The Outlast Trials drops huge free update and gets 60% off Steam sale

The Outlast Trials is a co-op horror game you owe it to yourself to try. Boasting a 93% Steam user score from more than 57,000 reviews, it's a beloved prequel to some of scariest, nastiest videogames around. Like the earlier Outlast entries, you've got to creep around dilapidated buildings, complete objectives, and avoid bloodthirsty killers. There is a twist, though: you can play The Outlast Trials either solo or in a group. Developer Red Barrels has also been generous with free updates, giving you new monsters to face and tests to overcome. Now's the ideal time to give it a try, too, with the latest season launching alongside a steep 60% off sale.
