Red Barrels continues to dole out the goods for The Outlast Trials, this time with a new Halloween update. Arriving October 26, the update will coincide with a Steam and Epic Games Store sale from October 26 – November 2 that includes a 20% discount for the Early Access game, as well as the release of the Official Soundtrack on Spotify.

The Halloween update includes the introduction of new Trial ‘Program 4: Courthouse’ and new Weekly Programs for The Outlast Trials, as well as additional MK-Challenges, and Program Geister; a limited-time Halloween event that includes special rewards. Subjects can also anticipate new Amps, Variators, Prescriptions, Cosmetics, Cell Items, and a Sleep Room Minigame, as well as numerous quality-of-life enhancements.

Alongside the updates and improvements, the team also addressed other areas of the game:

  • Reward efforts even in the event of failing a Trial
  • Penalising group players not participating in Trials
  • Improve the Trial selection process as a group
  • Keep improving the solo experience
  • Keep improving the AI behaviour in some edge case situations

Lastly, audiophiles will be able to listen to the official soundtrack of The Outlast Trials by composer Tom Salta (Deathloop, Halo, Ghost Recon) on Spotify on October 25.

The Outlast Trials is currently in Early Access on PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store. And don’t forget to check out the recent making-of documentary about the game.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
