Red Barrels brought Outlast, their first-person horror experience, to the Switch eShop last week. Today, they confirmed that the sequel, Outlast II, will be available to download for Nintendo’s newest console on March 27. The sequel introduces new characters and a new locale, but it’s just as terrifying as the original:
Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast II is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets.
Outlast II introduces you to Sullivan Knoth and his followers, who left our wicked world behind to give birth to Temple Gate, a town, deep in the wilderness and hidden from civilization. Knoth and his flock are preparing for the tribulations of the end of times and you’re right in the thick of it.
You are Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with your wife, Lynn. The two of you are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch.
You’re following a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe.
The investigation has lead you miles into the Arizona desert, to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do.
Beginning today, Outlast II can be pre-ordered through the Nintendo eShop for $29.99.
