Greetings Fellow Reagents,
A new update is coming to The Outlast Trials and for the first time in Outlast history, players will face a gun-wielding villain. Our new Prime Asset, Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi comes armed with a sawed-off shotgun that will strike Reagents from a distance, making the chase all the more challenging. Franco will be featured in the new map “The Docks” where the new Trial: Poison the Medicine, takes place. The update will be available on Tuesday, July 16th at approximately 10am ET. [previewyoutube=lotoo6lfcfw;full][/previewyoutube] This latest update will not only introduce a new villain and a new map, but will also feature a new roguelike game mode: Escalation, a new player ability: The Barricade Rig, a new Trial in and MK-Challenges, difficulty options for players, overhauls to matchmaking, menu UI, daily and weekly tasks, and a new in-game economy.New Prime Asset: Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi
The perverse son of New Orleans mafia Don, Salvatore Barbi. Using his ‘Lupara’, Franco hunts Reagents, unloading on anyone he catches in his sights. This giant, wailing manbaby is driven by craven entitlement, greed, and psychosexual violence, fueled by his impotence and insecurities. Barbi is a splendid addition to Easterman’s gallery, just try to stay out of his crosshairs long enough for us to gather the necessary data.New Map: “The Docks”
