Part of the slew of trailers revealed at IGN Fan Fest yesterday, Red Barrels has revealed Invasion Mode for The Outlast Trials. Launching October 21st, Invasion Mode is centrepiece of the upcoming major update in Season 4, and allows players to enter the Trials of their fellow Reagents, disguising themselves as Imposters and wielding brutally effective knives to sabotage and slay their opponents.
You are not your brother’s keepers: you are your father’s children. And a father gains the trust of his children by trusting them himself. That’s why the ever-gracious Easterman has provided his beloved children with the tools they need to truly sympathize with one another: knives, security cameras, and disguises made of human flesh. After all, sometimes you have to hurt the ones you love to help them get better…
Accessed via the Sleep Room Terminals, the new Invasion Mode allows players to join as either a Reagent or an Imposter. Only a limited number of Imposters can invade any given Trial, but while the others wait, they can be the eyes and ears of their murderous teammates. Each Imposter will get a chance to invade the Trial, as their peers succeed in their sabotage, or die trying.
Other features included in the upcoming major update for The Outlast Trials include the Geister 2025 New Time-Limited Event and Time-Limited Catalog, two new MK-Challenges (Beguile the Children and Investigate the Minotaur), and the debut of the new In-Game Store.
The Outlast Trials is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
