Today, at the 10th annual PC Gaming Show, developer Red Barrels revealed a new trailer for the four-player survival horror game The Outlast Trials, teasing the upcoming Project Breach update which will bring an exciting addition: Amelia, an escaped test subject now turned against Murkoff, voiced by Caroline Dhavernas (Hannibal, Mary Kills People & Wonderfalls).
Project Breach will introduce Amelia’s story, along with a brand new trial, a new environment, a new member of the Ex-Pop, a new jammer Rig, a new release, and more when it launches December 10, 2024, on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
“HE WHO CONTROLS WHAT JUSTICE DESIRES DEFINES THE CONTOURS OF LAW. SATIATE THE PROSECUTOR’S MORE DISCERNING PLEASURES.”
Despite the concerns about Amelia’s escape, Easterman pushes forward with new experiments, including the new Story Trial, “Pleasure the Prosecutor” in the new map, Downtown. Players must navigate Franco’s twisted cabaret, turning his devious theater against itself. Meanwhile, Murkoff Corporation ensures Reagents stay focused on their trials with new content, discouraging distractions or thoughts of escape.
A NEW HUNT BEGINS
Set in the 1950s, The Outlast Trials chronicles the sinister experiments of the Murkoff Corporation, a malevolent organization exploiting vulnerable individuals under the pretense of offering a better life. Reagents, lured by false promises, are abducted and subjected to horrifying psychological and physical trials designed to strip away their identities.
Trapped in a nightmarish facility filled with harrowing tests and terrifying Prime Assets such as Mother Gooseberry, Sergeant Leland Coyan, and Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi, survival seems impossible—let alone the thought of dismantling Murkoff’s experiments. But, someone has survived, and they have escaped… But why haven’t they left?
From within the walls of Murkoff’s facility, someone with a thirst for revenge lurks in the shadows. For the first time, Reagents will have a chance at a real possible escape. The staff at Sinyala should be on high alert.
As revealed in a new chapter of The Murkoff Collections (available for free here), Amelia joined Murkoff’s program deliberately, searching for another Reagent. Fueled by grief, fury, and conviction, she’s determined to bring down Easterman and destroy the Sinyala Facility.
“Reagents within The Outlast Trials have always been forced to be solely reactive, barely staying alive. Run, hide, survive, repeat. It’s this hopeless cycle that successfully strips participants of their morality and agency. With this latest update, we wanted to offer Reagents some form of solace, a chance at a collaborative revolt. Amelia is the lightning rod that will hopefully bring this plan to life, working behind the scenes on a mass exodus. She’ll do anything to tilt the scales, so long as she doesn’t get captured trying.” -Jonathan Morrell, Narrative Designer for The Outlast Trials.
In addition to Amelia’s storyline, Project Breach introduces:
- A new trial: Pleasure the Prosecutor
- A new map: Downtown
- New MK-Challenges:
- Reunite the Family: The nuclear family is the societal ideal. Release the orphan from the shackles of the state and reunite him with mother and father.
- Deface the Futtermans: Childhood memories are the stagnation that impede your growth. Put away the childish things that clutter your mind.
- A new rig: The Jammer
- A new ending set in The Republic of Congo
- A limited-time holiday event: Winter Kills
Project Breach releases December 10, 2024, on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox stores. Amelia can’t fight alone—she needs you in the resistance.
