If you haven't had enough of the creep horror genre thanks to recent hit The Evil Within, indie developer Red Barrels Games has announced that you won't have to wait too long with the reveal of Outlast 2, sequel to 2013's horror hit.

In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, studio co-founder Philippe Morin explained that Red Barrels had decided to work on a sequel after realising it still had more horror stories to tell.

"After shipping the XB1 version of Outlast, we took some time to analyse our situation and we quickly realised we had at least another horror game in us," Morin said. "So, yes, we are working on Outlast 2.

"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."

The first game was set in the abandoned Mount Massive Asylum, but the sequel will focus on something different, Morin concluded.

"We have new ideas and themes we'd like to explore and we think we're cooking up something special."

Red Barrels' previously released survival horror Outlast and its Whistleblower DLC have finally made their way to Microsoft's Xbox One console, appearing on the Xbox Games Store at a price point of $19.99 and $8.99 respectively.

The store does currently state that the game will be available come June 24th, it seems someone has hit the switch early allowing eager horror fans the chance to purchase the game and its DLC. Outlast, the story of which revolves around an independent journalist breaking into a repurposed mental asylum after receiving a tip-off, launched on Windows PC on September 4th and PlayStation 4 on February 5th.

Outlast's first DLC, Whistleblower, was first released on PC and PlayStation 4 in May. The DLC follows an anonymous tipster, a contract software engineer called Weylon Park, and focusses on the events leading up to the main game. The DLC also explores beyond the events of the first game to reveal the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum's story.

Whistleblower, the first downloadable content expansion for horror game Outlast has been given a May 6 2014 release date on PC and PlayStation 4, with a new trailer offering a glimpse at some of the creepy you'll be facing this time around:

Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world - including Miles - at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son thanks to strict security protocols, Waylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Waylon's anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive's rotten core.

Although Whistleblower tells the story that led to Outlast, it will actually stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum's story.

Developer Red Barrels has set pricing at US$8.99 for both platforms. Check out the video below.

According to Polygon, co-founder Philippe Morin stated that the game's delay was due to "additional time to polish, mix the sound and debug. We felt it was worth it to enhance the experience."

Whistleblower will now be launch on May 7th for PC and PlayStation 4.

A few months on from its PC launch, indie survival horror game Outlast has now arrived on console with the PlayStation 4 offering now available for purchase. AusGamers resident horror game aficionado Dylan Burns packs a change of pants as he ventures into our latest review:

Outlast’s central pillar is its passive approach to play. You can’t fight back. In tense situations, your only options are to run and/or hide. All the while, you’re expected to do this with your trusty hand-held camera up to your eyes, to record every moment. The camera provides a conduit between the player and Outlast’s grimy, horrific world. Whenever it’s held up, the world becomes slightly grainy and surreal, even more so when you must enter pitch dark and turn on the camera’s night vision mode.

VG247 are reporting that Outlast, the horror title taking place in a spooky abandoned asylum, will be releasing through Steam on PC come September. In development by Red Barrels, a new Canadian indie dev studio founded by several Ubisoft Montreal colleagues (of Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed, and Splinter Cell heritage), the project was announced last year as a "true survival-horror" game.

In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.

Acting on a tip from an inside source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line being science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.

“Our team has a lot of previous experience creating big, blockbuster games,” said co-founder David Chateauneuf. “We’re all really excited to see what kind of fear-based emotional rollercoaster we can build on our own!”
