Resident Evil 9 is on the Horizon, State of Decay 3 is Still in Development, but Fans of the Horror Genre Have a Reason to Revisit One of the Most Legendary Franchises: Outlast.
After more than a decade, the development studio Red Barrels has just announced a permanent price reduction for all three core installments of the game series, including Outlast, The Whistleblower, and Outlast 2. This is not a limited-time promotional offer – this is a new permanent price intended for the future.
Alongside this, Red Barrels has also released a significant update for The Outlast Trials, the latest installment in this horror genre. And if players are still hesitant, please be reminded that even after 12 years, the Outlast series remains one of the highest-rated horror franchises on Steam.
First released in 2013, Outlast immersed players in the eerie atmosphere of the Mount Massive Asylum, where darkness, terrifying sounds, and grotesque creatures lurked around every corner. The tagline “You can’t fight – you can only run and hide” has become an unforgettable hallmark of the game. Through the lens of a camera, players take on the role of investigative journalist Miles Upshur, who infiltrates the asylum to uncover the dark secrets of the Murkoff Corporation. The camera not only serves as a tool to see through the darkness – it also acts as a psychological shield that makes players feel safer, even as horror lurks around every shadowy corner.
Fast forward 12 years, and Outlast still holds a remarkable 96% positive rating on Steam, showcasing its enduring appeal. The DLC, The Whistleblower, has similarly received high accolades, while Outlast 2 achieved a commendable 91% rating – a notable feat for any title in the survival horror genre. Red Barrels has just announced a price reduction for all three core installments of the series. This new pricing will be permanent, no longer reliant on promotional discounts as before. This is a great opportunity for dedicated fans of the genre.
If you have played through the core series and are currently curious about the latest installment – The Outlast Trials, now is the perfect time to dive in. The game is currently enjoying a 60% discount on Steam, reducing the price to approximately 180,000 VND. This promotional price will last until June 9.
