The Outlast Trials is Adding a New Map, Mode, and Difficulty Options on July 16th

Red Barrels’ The Outlast Trials has a new update coming soon with Project Lupara. It adds a new Prime Asset – Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi – who will pursue players with a shotgun and a new map, The Docks. The latter features fresh objectives as players outwit Barbi and try to survive.

New Trials and MK-Challenges await outside Poison the Medicine on The Docks. Fuel the Release will require carrying fuel for the court, while Teach the Police Officer involves replacing film reels. However, the most interesting is Mansion Escape, as players return to the Farewell Mansion, which has a new difficulty but a new ending to unlock.

The new mode is Escalation Therapy, where players partake in continuous random trials with modifiers. As you survive, new upgrades become available, but one death and it’s back to the start. Players can also harness a new ability, The Barricage, to block paths against enemies. Those finding issues with the difficulty can explore four new options – Introductory, Standard, Intense, and Psychosurgery.

Stay tuned for more details when Project Lupara drops tomorrow, July 16th. The Outlast Trials is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Check out our review of the launch version here.
