The Outlast Trials
New The Outlast Trials Event Adds Ticking Time Bomb Challenge
Posted September 10, 2024 Montréal, Québec. September 10th, 2024– In a new update released today for The Outlast Trials, indie horror studio Red Barrels adds ‘Countdown’, a new limited-time event for its bloody, Saw-like online co-op multiplayer. Program Countdown straps time-bombs to each player, forcing them to hunt for time extenders as they complete Trials. If the time runs out, the entire team dies a fiery death, resulting in a failed Trial. Get ready to run for precious time; even if you survive this Trial, remember: time comes for us all. The Outlast Trials is available for purchase on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox stores.
New Time Limited Catalog: Countdown
- A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the time-limited event.
- Players can spend their acquired event tokens in the time-limited catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
- Earn Event Tokens and use them in the Event Catalog to unlock cosmetics. Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.
Two new MK-Challenges, ‘Empty the Vault’ and ‘Poison the Cattle,’ are now available in Program Countdown. They are also included in the new roguelike mode ‘Escalation Therapy’ map pool and will be featured in the upcoming weekly program rotations.
Empty the Vault - Casinos are the temple of idiot waste and willful failure; steal from those who would steal from you.
Poison the Cattle - The milk of human kindness must be contaminated with liberty and progress. Poison the cattle and spoil their milk.
- Spend acquired Event Tokens in the Limited-Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
- Once the event ends on October 8th at 10 AM ET, the Catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.
