Red Barrels Games, the developer for Outlast, officially announced that its upcoming first-person survival horror Outlast 2 will be delayed until the beginning of 2017.
The most anticipated horror game of 2016, Outlast 2 will extend fans excitement for some time next year, as Red Barrels Games, the developer announced that the title is being pushed back into the first quarter of 2017. It was originally scheduled for launch later this fall on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the studio stated that it could not be sure if the game would be ready in the announced time frame.
According to an official posts on Outlast 2’s Facebook page, the decision was made in order to deliver the most fulfilling experiences possible. Red Barrels didn’t give any concrete details besides that explanation.
Since Outlast 2 released its first trailer a few months ago, fans have been on the edge due to fright and eagerness in expectation of the survival horror release later this year. This means that Red Barrels will be able to deliver a more polished and frightening final product than the one currently in the works.
Outlast 2 was made one of the best horror games at E3 2016 after being shown at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. Even though it’s delayed for a while, that only means that Red Barrels has an opportunity to refine the assets is has currently in existence, making for a scarier game in the end. With this in mind, one can only imagine how terrifying Outlast 2 will be, especially since the previously released gameplay footage was already full of scariness.
The first Outlast was definitely a fan favorite upon launch and a lot of gamers consider it being one of the best indie games of 2013.
Outlast 2 will most likely come out during the first quarter of 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
