‘Outlast 2′ Devs’ Cryptic Posts Hinting at DLC?
Fresh from the release of Outlast 2, developer Red Barrels Studio now looks to be teasing fans with something.
On Red Barrels’ Twitter page, the dev has been busy posting photos presumably taken near the location of Outlast 2‘s main setting, the Temple Gate community. The crumpled photos are of seemingly deserted locations, with landmarks like a fence and a relay tower being the subjects. These landmarks are highlighted by a sharpie and question marks, as well as notes on the lower region of the photos.
The tweets also have a link to a Tumblr page called The Murkoff Report, which hosts more photos, as well as recordings of the Temple Gate group’s songs, disturbing children’s drawings, videos with weird imagery spliced with game footage and more. The Tumblr posts all have a variety of tags, including ones referring to the first game, its DLC, and the sequel.
So, what exactly does it all mean? It could potentially just be a companion piece for fans who want to get more of the lore of the game, or Red Barrels could be hinting at future DLC for the game. Whatever it is, it’s damn creepy.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
