Another round of fixes to The Outlast Trials has been released via a new hotfix this December 18, and as one might expect, this fixes issues tied to Project Messiah.

Console gamers will see the download appear as The Outlast Trials update 1.47/1.000.044, and this small download applies gameplay-related changes such as improved Imposter knife attack when engaging Reagents at close range.

Read on for everything that got fixed today.
