And here’s an official description of The Outlast Trials for those who aren’t familiar with the game:

A brand new take on the acclaimed Outlast survival horror series, The Outlast Trials is set in the same terrifying universe as the previous titles, only this time you can choose to play on your own or with friends in a team of up to four people.

Set in the height of the Cold War era, players take on the role of test subjects abducted by the shadowy Murkoff Corporation. Imprisoned in a secret Murkoff facility, players will be thrust into a series of physical and mental ordeals, tormented by iconic characters, and challenged alone or in teams to survive with their sanity intact.

The Outlast Trials launches on May 18 this year, and Red Barrels will release more information on the game’s pricing and content “soon,” so stay tuned.
