An
interview with developer Red Barrels on Bloody Disgusting reveals
development of
Outlast 2, a sequel to their survival/horror game (thanks
CVG). Part of the conversation covers how the game's success came after the
console ports were released, but it's not stated whether this means they are
skipping the PC this time around. Here's the skinny:
It’s important for us
to be passionate about whatever we’re working on, because we believe it’s the
only way to achieve quality.
After shipping the XB1 version of Outlast, we took some time to analyze our
situation and we quickly realized we had at least another horror game in us.
So, yes, we are working on Outlast 2.
The game will be a survival horror experience and it will take place in the same
universe as Outlast, but it will have different characters and a different
setting. We might go back to Mount Massive Asylum one day, but for now we have
new ideas and themes we’d like to explore and we think we’re cooking up
something special.
We’re still a small indie studio (12 people), so we’ll need a little bit of time
to ship our next game, but hopefully it will be worth it.
