The terrifying world of The Outlast Trials just got darker with the release of its latest major update, Project Breach, available now across Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox. Known for its intense psychological horror and relentless pacing, The Outlast Trials continues to deliver fresh, bone-chilling content to its loyal fanbase, even after hitting version 1.0. This update introduces a new enemy, an ominous trial, a haunting map, and more tools for surviving Murkoff Corporation’s nightmarish experiments.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Project Breach Update and why it’s a perfect excuse to dive back into the terror.
Meet Amelia Collier: The New Protagonist Fighting Back
At the heart of Project Breach is Amelia Collier, voiced by Caroline Dhavernas (Hannibal). A former captive of Murkoff Corporation, Amelia is fueled by grief and a desire for justice. Her story adds a new layer to the game’s narrative, with players joining her fight against Murkoff’s grotesque experiments.
Amelia’s introduction isn’t just a story expansion—it’s a call to action. Players will explore her motivations through the newly added “Pleasure the Prosecutor” Trial, diving deeper into the horrors that define The Outlast Trials.
A New Trial and Environment to Test Your Limits
The centerpiece of Project Breach is the new Trial and its eerie environment, Downtown, a decrepit urban setting filled with deadly surprises. This dilapidated cityscape introduces Franco, a mobster armed with a grotesque, teeth-filled shotgun, and a chilling new objective: Reunite the Family.
In this Trial, players must:
- Release an orphan from captivity and reunite them with their “family” in an unsettling display of Murkoff’s twisted experiments.
- Deface the Futtermans, a psychological challenge requiring players to destroy symbols of their own childhood memories.
The oppressive Downtown setting, combined with these macabre objectives, raises the stakes for both solo players and co-op teams.
A Deadly New Enemy: The Molotov
Among the fresh horrors introduced in this update is The Molotov, a ranged enemy wielding explosive Molotov cocktails. With each throw, he transforms sections of the map into fiery death traps, forcing players to think fast and coordinate effectively. The Molotov’s inclusion is a game-changer, making environmental awareness and teamwork more critical than ever.
The Jammer Rig: A New Tool for Survival
Surviving Murkoff’s trials requires cunning, and the new Jammer Rig offers just that. This versatile tool allows players to:
- Disable electronic devices, creating opportunities to disrupt Trial environments.
- Secure extra loot, giving players and their teams a strategic edge.
Perfect for those who prefer a stealthy approach, the Jammer Rig rewards thoughtful gameplay and can turn the tide in challenging scenarios.
Limited-Time Event: Winter Kills
Adding to the excitement, the Winter Kills event introduces unique rewards and chilling trial variators:
- Collect the Gifts: Players can find and collect hidden gifts during Trials for bonus rewards.
- Cold Snap: Environmental cold snaps force players to find shelter or risk freezing to death.
- Frost Mines: Replace traditional gas mines with icy traps, upping the ante in tense moments.
These additions bring a festive twist to the game’s relentless horror, offering a fresh challenge for both veterans and newcomers.
Cosmetic DLC: Unholy Night Pack
For players looking to embrace the holiday spirit with a darker edge, the Unholy Night DLC Pack is available for $19.99. This premium bundle includes:
- 8 Legendary Outfits: Perfect for dressing your Reagent in fearsome holiday-themed attire.
- Cell Decorations and Player Icons: Add a festive-yet-frightening touch to your in-game space.
While purely cosmetic, the pack enhances the immersion and personalization options for players who want to celebrate the season in Murkoff’s twisted style.
