The Outlast Trials continues to push boundaries with its latest update. The horror game, known for its intense psychological experiments and eerie atmosphere, has added a new character that will test players in new ways.
Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi Enters the Scene
The newest addition to The Outlast Trials is Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi. This character brings a new level of danger with his sawn-off shotgun, Lupara. Players will encounter him in the new trial, Poison the Medicine, set in The Docks. His presence adds a layer of unpredictability, as he will appear alongside other notorious characters like Gooseberry and Coyle during the initial weeks of his introduction.
New Game Mode: Escalation Therapy
The update also introduces a new game mode called Escalation Therapy. This mode adds a roguelite element to the game, presenting players with a series of randomized trials. Each trial comes with variators that increase the difficulty, challenging players to survive as long as possible. Success in these trials offers rewards and power-ups, incentivizing players to push their limits.
Weekly Programs and New Features
In addition to new trials and characters, the update brings a fresh season with weekly programs. These programs offer new content for players to explore, keeping the gameplay dynamic and engaging. A new rig that allows players to barricade doors has been added, along with revamped menus for a more streamlined experience.
