The Outlast Trials released into 1.0 earlier in 2024, but it had been in early access for a whole year before this, slowly releasing small updates and patches for players to enjoy and critique. But after a couple of months of minor changes, there's a major update with new antagonists, maps, trials, and more.
At first, the multiplayer horror game launched with three locations: the Police Station, Fun Park, and Orphanage, but after it was fully launched, the Toy Factory map was added as well. My favorite map still has to be the Police Station, but that's mostly due to how terrifying and funny it is to push a payload around a map while having to run away and distract giant enemies with sledgehammers. However, the latest update also now adds The Docks, the home turf of a new antagonist, Franco "II Bambino" Barbi.
