Red Barrels Confirm ‘Outlast 3’, First Two Games Headed to Switch + More

Published

In an interesting turn of events, Outlast 2 devs Red Barrels have seemingly quashed one hope for fans, but have given them much more.

In a lengthy Facebook post, the team talks about how fans have been requesting DLC for Outlast 2. Unfortunately, that’s not in the cards, despite The Murkoff Account postings. “While the first Outlast was made with the idea of a DLC in mind, that was not the case for Outlast 2. We’ve considered many options, but none of them felt appropriate for a DLC. Outlast 2 was created to make you feel like a rat in a maze, without any knowledge of what’s outside the maze.”

The big news, however, comes right after that, with the devs stating that they intend to make Outlast 3 “at some point”, and that “answers will be given”. In the meamtime, however, those who haven’t can still read The Murkoff Account’s epilogue.

The other big news comes in the form of a something the team is working on that “won’t be a sequel to Outlast or Outlast 2, but it will be a distinct experience set in the Outlast universe.” What that is, the team won’t say until they’re sure that they can “make it work”.

Lastly, since everyone and their grandma are coming to the Nintendo Swith, the post concludes with news that both Outlast games are headed to the console in the first quarter of 2018. They even have a handy photo for those who need the visual confirmation. With all of these ports coming down the pipe (not to mention the first-party games), it’s making me really want to get a Switch…

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
