Horror titles Outlast and Outlast 2 will be arriving on the Nintendo Switch next year and both games should satisfy those with a horror itch. The developer behind the game shared on Facebook that they would be arriving sometime early next year and also shared the development photo you can view below.
It’s time for a little status update from us.
First off, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that have bought Outlast 2 and have been supporting the studio for more than 5 years now. Red Barrels was nothing more than a dream, but with a lot of blood, sweat and beers it has now become a small, fully independent studio with a kickass team who can work miracles.
We strive to create unique experiences and take risks. Hopefully, we’ll manage to entertain you for years to come.
About the future, many of you have been requesting a DLC. While the first Outlast was made with the idea of a DLC in mind, that was not the case for Outlast 2. We’ve considered many options, but none of them felt appropriate for a DLC. Outlast 2 was created to make you feel like a rat in a maze, without any knowledge of what’s outside the maze.
We will, at some point, make an Outlast 3 and answers will be given. You can also check out The Murkoff Account’s epilogue. It takes places right after the events of the second game and offers some insight into the events in the game. (https://redbarrelsgames.com/comic-books/)
Currently we’re working on something a lot of you have been asking for… It won’t be a sequel to Outlast or Outlast 2, but it will be a distinct experience set in the Outlast universe. We can’t say more right now, we first need to make sure we can make it work. Like I mentioned, we strive to be risk-takers and this one is a pretty big challenge. If all goes well, we’ll soon be able to reveal more.
In the meantime, the Outlast franchise will be released on the Nintendo Switch during the first quarter of 2018.
Cheers!
The Red Barrels Team

Sweet!
I don’t care for Outlast, but it’s nice to see games like this coming. The more the merrier.
IKR? The Switch hype train isn’t stopping and nor is these games coming. Bayonetta 3 with 1+2 announcement, Hollow, Wolfenstein 2, Metroid Prime 4, it just won’t stop and I don’t want it to stop. :3 THIS is the Nintendo I know and loved from before.
I got spoiled on the first Outlast thanks to Markiplier, but I actively avoided anything to do with the second one. Maybe I will indulge.
…after getting a bigger micro SD.
And outlast 3?
Possibly
Well, RIP Resident Evil.
