Greetings Reagents,

We are deploying a small patch to fix some issues that have been reported since our latest update!

The issues our team has fixed in this patch:
  • Reverted matchmaking changes. No more trial fill option.

  • Increased Release Tokens granted.

  • Legacy Reborn Trophies will now be granted when you reach the required release count for players who released at least once prior to version 4.0. For example- if you release your Reagent 5 times before the 4.0 update, you only need to Rebirth and release 5 more times to acquire the Legacy 10 release Trophy. Those Trophies are granted automatically, no need to go through the task system.

    • When completing the new Tasks for Rebirth, if you had never Rebirthed in the past or if you reached a certain point in your progress, you will obtain both the old and new Trophies as you keep releasing Reagents.

  • Fix the Ultra 2 variator not blocking some item variators from being picked. It's already limiting items enough as is.

  • Fix a focus issue when using a gamepad in the group options submenu.

If you experience any in-game issues feel free to join our Official 18+ Outlast Discord Server and create a ticket to speak directly with our support team. Thank you to everyone for taking the time to reach out to us with your issues and feedback on The Outlast Trials. Our team values your input and we look forward to getting better together!

See you all in the Sinyala Facility very soon,

The Outlast Trials - RedBarrelsCM
Greetings Reagents,

Project Diarchy is upon us! This seasonal update welcomes our New Prime Asset Otto & Arora to the Sinyala Facility and they bring with them devastating buzzsaw takedowns, incapacitating toxic attacks, and precise 360° vision. They stalk the Shopping Mall- the grand intersection of American culture and capitalist commerce, and our new Trial Environment. Lose yourself in 2 new MK-Challenges, a revamped and deepened Rebirth system, and additional DLC cosmetics and more.

This update includes
  • New Prime Asset: Otto & Arora Kress

  • New Trial Environment: The Shopping Mall

  • New Trial: "Kill the Politician"

  • New MK-Challenges: "Get Out the Vote" & "Sentence the Prosecuted"

  • New Limited-Time Event: Kress Twins

  • New Deluxe Catalog: Project Diarchy

  • Rebirth reopens to all Reagents

  • Join-in-Progress via Matchmaking

  • New DLC Packs

  • Other additions, improvements and fixes

Season 4: Project Diarchy

In PROJECT DIARCHY, Reagents come face-to-face-to-face with Otto and Arora Kress. Conjoined at birth, the Kress Twins have a set of eyes both fore and aft. They can spot a victim from any angle, stop them with a thrown vile of noxious poison, and split them in two with their buzzsaw.

New Prime Asset: Otto & Arora Kress

Otto and Arora are the shameful secret of the Kress family dynasty. Scions to an industrial chemical fortune, twisted geniuses of chemistry and politics, their narcissistic entitlement fuels an overwhelming ire for those uncultured massed physically blessed by so-called normalcy. Raised in secrecy, their relationship festered into a codependent affair of incest, murder, and true love.

The Kress Twins lord over the Shopping Mall, where they will do anything to stop Reagents from sabotaging their political rally in the latest Trial, “Kill the Politician.”

New Environment: The Shopping Mall

A consumerist wonder of the world, the Shopping Mall is a living museum in celebration of the power and imperative of the purse. What you own is who you are, so come on in and purchase the person you want to be.

New Trial: Kill the Politician

Our union is rooted in the liberty born from the intersection of commerce and politics, where every citizen has all the rights they can afford. Vote with your wallet, and show us the freedom you deserve.

New MK-Challenge: Get Out the Vote

It's time to get out the vote, and we can't trust a politician to cross the street by himself. Escort our candidate door to door and back to the poling station. Make sure he comes out a winner, even if it means twisting a few arms.

New Mk-Challenge: Sentence the Prosecuted

They call it a "sentence" because a few choice words can condemn a human to death. Decipher the charges, pin it to the defendant, and make sure that it sticks.

New Event: Kress Twins

We welcome our new Prime Asset with a tour of the facilities. For a limited time, Otto and Arora Kress will be present in all of the Trials of the Kress Twins therapy.

New Deluxe Catalog: Project Diarchy

The new Deluxe Catalog “Project Diarchy” is now available.

  • The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for your own self expression.

  • Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog and other Deluxe Catalog.

  • Acquire Stamps by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the Stamps to acquired Deluxe Catalog items.

  • As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.

Rebirth reopening to all Reagents

After careful consideration, Easterman is reopening the Rebirth to all reagents who deserve it. Rebirth now offers two options: The original Rebirth for solo players. The new Rebirth, called Communal Rebirth, which is designed for teams.

This new Rebirth drops the players in a random Trial with 3 unique variators.

  • Mirror Variator - The perspective of the Trial has shifted. All Trials now feel completely different.

  • Rebirth Variator - It's time to rebuild yourself. Each player must locate their records box hidden in the Trial and return it to the drop location near the shuttle. There are also 3 radio frequencies that must be tuned to discover familiar words. These 2 secondary objectives must be completed on top of the regular Trial objective in succeed and escape.

  • Classified Variator - A surprise variator has been injected into the therapy. You'll discover what it is as you play. You're gonna need to adapt - or die.

Survive Rebirth, and witness what the Reagents become once they return to the outside world!

  • Rebirth now requires each member of a group to have 100 Rebirth Tokens. It is now possible to stack up to 1000 Rebirth Tokens. Rebirth Token rewards for completing Trials have been revisited (5 Rebirth Tokens per Trial, and 3 Rebirth Tokens per MK-Challenge).

  • Tasks associated to successfully completing the new Rebirth protocol are now available! Become Reborn and you will be rewarded with a new Trophy (and the old ones if you had not received them in the past), as well as a selection of exclusive Legendary outifts.

New DLC Packs

Four times the fear! 4 unique cosmetic packs filled with outfits, room decor, and more so you can enter the Shopping Mall already looking your best!

The new privacy option “FILL TRIAL” is available in the Group Settings (accessible in Pause Menu and Social Menus), and is set to YES by default. SO TURN THIS SETTING OFF if you DO NOT wish to have random players join your group!

Only the group leader can change this option, and it can only be changed before the Trial begins. It will reset to YES when joining a Trial using the Group Finder.,
Once the Trial is completed, players will return with their initial group (if any) before matchmaking occurred.,

Our team is working on a Hotfix patch that should be out sometime tomorrow (07/16) if all goes well, and it will include:

  • Updated matchmaking rules: We will try for some time (currently set to 60 seconds) to match you with players starting a new trial before expanding to trials in progress. This is something we will keep monitoring and adjusting as needed, so thank you for your feedback!

  • Increased Release Tokens granted

  • Legacy Reborn Trophies will now be granted when you reach the required release count for players who released at least once prior to version 4.0. For example- if you release your Reagent 5 times before the 4.0 update, you only need to Rebirth and release 5 more times to acquire the Legacy 10 release Trophy. Those Trophies are granted automatically, no need to go through the task system.

  • Fix for the Ultra 2 variator not blocking some item variators from being picked. It's already limiting items enough as is.

  • Fix for a focus issue when using a gamepad in the group options submenu.

Earlier today our team pushed a few fixes for the following issues:

  • Escalation runs not starting and getting an error.

  • Not getting Reborn tokens, Rewards and Grades after completing Trials.

Our team is continuing to look into issues and we will ping here and on social media when our Hotfix patch is ready to go out. We appreciate your patience as we address these issues and thank everyone for taking the time to report your problems to us!

The Outlast Trials - RedBarrelsCM
Greetings Fellow Reagents,

Meet Otto & Arora, aka The Kress Twins. Two halves of the same sadistic whole, this new Prime Asset will be joining The Outlast Trials in our next major update coming Tuesday, July 15th at approximately 10am ET which will kick off Season 4: Project Diarchy. This update will feature our new Prime Asset: Otto & Arora, a new map Trial environment: Shopping Mall, Reborn 2.0, 2 new MK-Challenges: "Get Out the Vote" in Suburbs, and "Sentence the Prosecuted" in Courthouse (sneak peek at these below).

New Prime Asset: Otto and Arora Kress

What God has joined together, let no man rend asunder… and so it is with the Kress Twins, Otto and Arora, conjoined at birth due to their in utero exposure to toxic chemicals, and the latest Prime Asset to arrive to The Outlast Trials!

Firstborns to the wealthy industrial magnate Anton Kress, the twins suffered even before birth, as their mother was exposed to the poisonous fumes of Anton’s experiments and died bringing her children into the world. Reviled by their peers and blamed by their father for their mother’s death, the Kress Siblings nevertheless found their sick pleasures wherever they could… and will soon be unleashed to terrorize the Sinyala Facility Reagents.

Otto and Arora are two halves of the same sadistic whole: the former a one time politician who now wields a chainsaw instead of words, and the latter a brilliant chemist capable of devising toxic weapons far deadlier than anything her late father ever crafted.

Boasting two brains for their one shared body, Otto & Arora have a complete 360-degree field of vision, making it nearly impossible to escape their gaze. Brother Otto will fall upon his victims in a bloody melee frenzy, while Sister Arora can catch players unaware by lobbing poison flasks for a ranged attack. Together, they comprise the most difficult Prime Asset the Reagents have yet to face.

New Map: “Shopping Mall” Trial Environment

The Kress Twins will stalk the halls of the newest Trial Environment: Shopping Mall. Having prepared their preferred puppet candidate, they’ve now organized a rally for the all-but-predetermined election, to be held at the American wonder of the world: the shopping mall. This bastion to capitalism typically draws people from all walks of life… which is precisely why Otto & Arora have roped off a special area for VIPs only.

With a long-held disdain for the poor that has since devolved into pure, unadulterated disgust, the twins only want the wealthy elites in attendance at their rally- especially those eager to contribute donations. After all, as a prestigious, invite-only event, you can't get in unless you spend, spend, spend… earning yourself a seat at the political spectacle of the decade.

New MURKOFF COLLECTIONS Comic Book - Chapter 6

Want to learn more about our new Prime Assets Otto & Arora? Then descend into their disturbing origin story by exploring the latest issue of the Murkoff Collections comic book series, now available for free to read on our website.

New MK-Challenge: “Get Out the Vote"

New MK-Challenge: “Sentence the Prosecuted"

We are so excited for everyone to jump into Project Diarchy next week, more details will come on with the Patch Notes to be released with the update.

We look forward to seeing you all in the Sleep Room very soon…

Greetings Reagents,

Our Prime Assets are the core of the Therapy and it's time for you to have some quality time with Sergeant Coyle, Mother Gooseberry and Franco Barbi during Prime Time, along with two new sadistic MK-Challenges that push you to fumigate the factory and gamble your life for freedom.

This update includes
  • New Limited-Time Event: PRIME TIME
  • New Limited-Time Catalog: PRIME TIME
  • New MK-Challenge: FUMIGATE THE FACTORY
  • New MK-Challenge: REDEEM YOUR FREEDOM
  • Revamp of Program Genesis
  • Quickplay replaced by Group Finder
  • Pause Menu rework
  • Task Tracking
  • Many additions, fixes, and balancing changes
New Limited-Time Event: PRIME TIME

Prime Time proved to be a most efficacious therapy; so much so that we are reviving the initiative. Gooseberry, Coyle, or Franco unite to hunt you down in the same Trial for some compound Therapy.

New Limited-Time Catalog: PRIME TIME

A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Prime Time Limited-Time event.
  • Players can spend their acquired Event Tokens on items in the Prime Time Catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
  • Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.
New MK-Challenge: FUMIGATE THE FACTORY

Aging workers with their pensions and benefits are the bleeding wounds of our economy, draining the corporate body with their chronic existence. Stop the bleeding with a sterilizing gas and put the workers out of our misery.

New MK-Challenge: REDEEM YOUR FREEDOM

Currency, like your survival, is worthless unless you give it value with faith. Collect tickets like your life depended on it.

Revamp of Program Genesis
The Genesis Program has been revamped to include all Trials and MK-Challenges.
  • Trials are now organized by theme.
  • Programs now feature distinct visual feedback to clearly differentiate between Trials and MK-Challenges.
  • Going forward, all new Trials and MK-Challenges will be added under their corresponding themes within the Genesis Program.
Quickplay replaced by Group Finder
  • Quick Play has been replaced with the new Group Finder.
  • Accessible from the Terminal’s main screen, the Group Finder allows players to connect with others looking to participate in the same activity.
Developper Comment: With the wide variety of activities in the game, managing them all through a single matchmaking system became increasingly complex. This often led to long wait times or failed group formations. The new Group Finder offers a streamlined solution—helping players quickly connect with others interested in the same activity. Once matched, players can communicate to fine-tune the details before jumping in.

Pause Menu rework
  • The Pause Menu now features three tabs: Menu, Tasks, and Loadout.
  • Players can navigate through these tabs to view their respective content.
  • While in a Trial, the Loadout tab is view-only. Changes can still be made in the Sleep Room and Shuttle before starting a Trial.
  • Holding Tab (or Select on Gamepad) remains a shortcut to quickly open the Tasks tab.
Tasks Tracking
  • It is now possible to pin one Task and have it displayed in the HUD permanently.
  • Simply navigate to the Tasks menu and press the Pin input.
Additions/Fixes/Balancing
  • “Weekly Therapies” are now called “Routine Therapies” and include more tasks to complete for extra rewards. This change helps distinguish them from rotating “Weekly Tasks” and week-long program tasks.
  • Routine Therapies and Special Therapies will now include event variators in the Introductory difficulty, since it’s now possible to play any Trial in its original format within Program Genesis.
  • Jaeger Ex-Pop changes:
    • The Jaeger will no longer spawn during Trials of the Genesis Programs on Introductory and Standard difficulties.
    • It can still appear in Standard difficulty for Routine, Event, and Escalation Therapies.
    • Spawn chances reduced to 20% (was 33%) at Standard Difficulty.
    • Spawn chances reduced to 75% (was 100%) (Intensive and Psychosurgery)
    • The Jaeger can now only spawn once per Trial.
    • Once spawned, the Jaeger presence in a Trial is reduced to 3 minutes (was 5 minutes).
  • Trial Maker:
    • Improved Variators compatibility.
    • Added a new tab “Last Played” that lists the last Trials played in chronological order.
  • Escalation Therapy:
    • Added all latest MK-Challenges.
    • Reduced the number of syringe in Trials.
  • Solo: Players can now have a maximum reserve of 5 respawns (including Escalation).
  • Genesis: Adjusted variators in Intensive and Psychosurgery difficulties.
  • Settings: A new option has been added to automatically equip picked-up items.
  • The Stamina Boost item now grants temporary stamina immunity and a short speed boost upon consumption.
  • Added new behaviors for the imposters: list of behaviors redacted on purpose 🤫
  • Gameplay tutorials will now reappear for players who have been inactive for several days.
  • Fixed missing reward for the Genesis task “Score A+ in the Trial: Liquidate the Union”. Players will have to recomplete the task to claim the reward.
  • Fixed a bug where Program Genesis was reset after a Relapse.
  • Other various bug fixes.
The Outlast Trials Roadmap 2025

Here is a look at what’s to come in The Outlast Trials in the near future. Following the Prime Time update Reagents will experience a new Routine Therapy: Nostophobia, followed by the Season 4 launch this Summer featuring a New Prime Asset, a New Trial environment and more!

We will once again celebrate Halloween with an update that includes a Limited-Time Event as well as a new game mode!

LINK TRAILER


New Trial: Liquidate the Union


Human labor is the backbone of liberty and profit. We cannot allow the vanity of self-preservation to threaten production. Cross the picket line, persuade labor to resume production, and liquify the union.

New MK-Challenge: Spread the Disease


Sexually transmitted disease is the secret handshake of evolutionary judgement and divine retribution. Spread the infection, and we will let you out.

Equipped with the latest in radio broadcasting technology, Murkoff guides the Jaeger remotely with simple instructions—Find and kill the assigned Reagent, wherever they run, wherever they hide. A lethal homing device on two legs, the Jaeger doesn’t stop until her target is brutally murdered. Don’t give up, and Murkoff won’t give up on you.
  • A new enemy type can now visit the Trials: The Jaeger
  • When the Jaeger appears in a Trial, she will target one Reagent and chase it until death.
New Limited-Time Program: Jeager Onboarding


The Jaeger is currently undergoing vigorous live environment testing. Just as death follows a wasted life, so does the Jaeger follow those it wishes to hold close.
New Variator:
  • JAEGER: The Jaeger Ex-Pop is permanently present in Trials. Experience the event by selecting the "Jaeger" Program on the Trial Board.
  • The new variator has also been added to Escalation Therapy and Trial Maker.
Event Schedule:
  • Part 1: April 22nd to May 6
  • Part 2: May 6 to May 20
Introducing the Trial Maker


Consider the blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating The Therapy. Experience it for yourself, and experiment with your limits, physical, mental, and emotional, with our new Trial Maker.
With the Trial Maker, players can now:
  • Build their own Trial by combining various Trials, MK-Challenges, and custom Variators.
  • Create and save up to 10 unique trials.
  • Generate names for your creations by selecting from a list of words.
  • Easily share your creations with friends using a unique Trial code.
  • Play Trials made by other players using their code or if they are present in the same Sleep Room.
  • Unleash your creativity and challenge yourself like never before!
Introducing the Relapse Initiative


You have proven your dedication to the therapy, but this is only the beginning. The Relapse initiative is a fresh start. Together, we can go deeper.
  • Reach the new maximum therapy level (99) to access the Relapse Initiative.
  • Relapse reverts your therapy to level one in exchange of a permanent upgrade of your choice and rewards.
  • Reagents will be invited to enter the clinic area located in the Evaluation Corridor after completing a Trial. They must be at maximum therapy level to opt into the Relapse initiative.

Benefits of performing the Relapse initiative:
  • THERAPY RESET: Your therapy level will be reset and all upgrades will be relocked.
  • RELAPSE NUMBER: Your relapse number increases after each relapse.
  • PERMANENT UNLOCK: Unlock one upgrade of your choice to keep permanently. It won't be locked at future relapses.
  • KEEP YOUR COSMETICS: All your character and cell cosmetics are kept.
  • KEEP YOUR STATS: Your stats carry over across relapses.
  • RELAPSE PLAQUE: A honorific plaque is installed in your cell room with the amount of relapses completed.

Murkoff Suspends Reborns Program Temporarily
  • In response to the recent escape attempts, Murkoff has temporarily suspended the Rebirth program.
  • To serve as a reminder of the escape incident, Amelia is now displayed in the Sleep Room.
  • Additionally, the Reborn counter has been concealed.
Added Nudity Filter
  • Added a new “Nudity Filter” option in the Settings.

Join Trials in Progress
It is now possible to join friends already playing a Trial (Join-in-progress) via the Social Menu.

Additions/Fixes/Balancing
  • As some players might have experienced, the imposters have improved their behavior to cause even more confusion during Trials: They can carry items, bleed, suffer from Psychosis effects, Ping, Perform emotes, Look around, Crouch, etc.
  • Upon entering the game for the first time after the update, players are presented with a new tutorial screens to explain the Relapse Initiative and Progression changes.
  • Relapse Number is now displayed in the Records/Stats menu.

“It’s time. I’ve gimmicked the Trial Shuttle to take you to the escape; you can call it from the terminal. Act like nothing’s out of the ordinary, I’ll keep this running as long as I can, but Murkoff’s going to realize something is wrong. Go now!”

The Escape

Reagents, this will likely be the only chance we’ve got… Now is your chance to Escape the Sinyala Facility!
  • With the help of the schematics that were collected, Amelia was able to hack Murkoff’s Trial Terminal. Interact with the Terminal in the Sleep Room to commence your Escape.
  • Assemble your group! You can attempt the Escape with up to 4 Reagents.
  • Don’t miss your shot at freedom, it may never come again.
Under Surveillance Limited-Time Event pt.2

“For reasons solely based around your safety during therapy, we have temporarily heightened surveillance in our Trial environments. Falling under the scrutiny of our all-seeing eye will alert staff to any nearby hazards.”
  • Continue your progress by completing Part II of the Under Surveillance Limited-Time Event as Murkoff tries to fight against Amelia’s Escape plan.
Secondary Objectives
  • Find the Escape Plans scattered throughout the Trials to help Reagents escape the Murkoff Institution.
  • Find the Television Broadcast and watch the Amelia’s Escape message before Murkoff does.
New Tasks: “Distract them…”
  • Continue to help Amelia by completing her next batch of Tasks.
Limited-Time Catalog: Amelia ENDS April 22

Show your support to Amelia by unlocking and wearing the exclusive cosmetics available in the Amelia Catalog.
  • Acquire Event Tokens by completing Under Surveillance Trials and certain Tasks.
  • Make sure to use all acquired Tokens before the event’s completion on April 22nd. All remaining Event Tokens will be lost.
Reagent Reborn Experimental Changes
Since our 1.0 Launch, Reagents have amazed us by completing over 1.3 million Rebirths! As we mentioned in our previous Blog Post, the Season 3 update will be coming April 22nd and the Sinyala Facility will usher in some changes to its Reborn scientific experiment/Rebirth initiative in order to improve the Therapy. As of the Season 3 update on April 22nd at 10am ET, access to the Rebirth hallway will be closed off for the near future while we retool the Reborn procedure.

Now is the time to test your resilience and attempt becoming Reborn! Remember that you can obtain exclusive Legendary Outfits when you become Reborn, as well as Trophy Cell Items when you hit 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 Reborns.

Greetings Reagents,

We are deploying a small patch to fix some issues that have been reported since our latest update!

The issues our team has fixed in this patch:
  • Fixed the Pitcher not spawning.
  • Fixed an issue where the player could crouch jump infinitely.
  • Fixed an issue where room clues for Kidnap the Mistress were localized to the language set in-game therefore not matching the way it is labelled within the Downtown map. All room clues will now be labelled in English for clarity.
  • Fixed an issue where Night Vision Goggles were misaligned after players equipped them in their Sleep Room Cell.
  • Fixed an issue where some players were unable to complete or claim their Weekly Task rewards. We have reset all Weekly Tasks and players can now complete them again for extra rewards.
  • And various other minor bug fixes.
If you experience any in-game issues feel free to join our Official 18+ Outlast Discord Server and create a ticket to speak directly with our support team. We thank everyone for taking the time to reach out to us with your issues and feedback on The Outlast Trials. Our team values your input!

Catch you all in the Sleep Room...
