The news was announced on the game’s official Facebook page just now. The title was initially slated for a release in the fall of 2016, but the developer wants to test the limits of the game to the extreme.
Here is the Facebook Post:
We had to make a difficult decision recently. After weighing our options we’ve decided to postpone Outlast 2’s release until Q1 of 2017.
We want you to know that we listen to your feedback, we see your excitement and we know you care about our work. Our mission as an indie studio is to deliver to you the best, most terrifying, most fulfilling experiences possible. That’s why we’re taking just a little bit more time to make sure our vision for Outlast 2 is in no way compromised and is the experience you deserve.
This is not the type of news we ever want to deliver, but we are so fully committed to the world we’ve built and to our awesome community that we could not, in good conscience, release a game who’s limits haven’t been tested to the extreme.
Thank you for understanding. We promise Outlast 2 will scare the crap out of you.
Outlast 2 will be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
“Outlast 2 is not a direct sequel to the original game, but rather a spiritual successor that puts players in the shoes of a cameraman searching for his wife, a journalist who went missing following a nighttime helicopter crash in the Arizona desert. Like the first game, using the camera’s night vision mode to discover things that are probably best left hiding in the dark will be a core part of the horror experience. A hard release date hadn’t been set prior to today’s announcement, but it had been expected to be ready for release this autumn—although Tim said in his preview, presciently as it turns out, that he thought it “could potentially slip until winter.”
