Season 4.0 for ‘The Outlast Trials’ Arrives July 15, Adds New Prime Asset [Trailer]

Red Barrels keeps The Outlast Trials content rolling with the announcement of Season 4.0, Project Diarchy, coming July 15th. This new season introduces the Kress Siblings, Otto and Arora, twins conjoined at birth due to their in utero exposure to toxic chemicals, as the latest Prime Asset. Season 4.0 also includes additional content updates, QoL improvements, and more.

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…

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.

The twins skulk the halls of the newest trial environment in The Shopping Mall. This bastion to capitalism typically draws people from all walks of life… which is precisely why Otto & Arora have roped off the 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.

Red Barrels are also ready with the lore dump exploring the origins of the Kress Siblings in the latest issue of the Murkoff Collections comic book series, available now on the official Red Barrels website. As well, players can expect a host of other features coming in Season 4.0 of The Outlast Trials, including a new environment, a new Trial and  MK-Challenges, as well as the reintroduction of the Rebirth system, now with added options for team play. More details and full patch notes will arrive with the update on its release.

And for those looking to Halloween, Red Barrels has also teased what’s to come in the Fall Update for The Outlast Trials, including a new game mode and additional MK-Challenges.

The Outlast Trials is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
