Outlast 2 First Gameplay Footage

Outlast 2, developer Red Barrels is looking for new, totally twisted ways to scare gamers silly, and this glimpse at a segment set in a terrifying cornfield suggests they haven’t lost their touch. The video, posted to GameSpot’s official YouTube channel, shows off the litany of heart-stopping horror that players will encounter. Featuring eviscerated bodies, a Southern-twanged cult leader speaking menacingly over a loud speaker, and one unlucky, camera-toting protagonist running for his life through a dark cornfield while pursued by murderous psychopaths, the four-minute snippet gives gamers an idea of what kind of white knuckle horror to expect from the upcoming sequel.

Red Barrels previously promised that Outlast 2 will feature a brand new setting, and this sneak peek at the Southern fried horror that the developer has planned is sure to excite fans of the franchise. With big-name horror games like Friday the 13th also planned to release in 2016, Outlast 2 will have its work cut out for it to stand out from the crowd.

Outlast 2 is shooting for a Fall 2016 release, so horror hounds can now begin to count the days until the first person scare-fest releases for Windows, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
