<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-outlast-trials/">The Outlast Trials</a>, the third title in the popular indie <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/survival/">survival</a>-<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/horror/">horror</a> series Outlast, has been released. Developers from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/red-barrels/">Red Barrels</a> launched The Outlast Trials in Early Access mode on May 18 (Canada time). Players can get the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store for $29.99.</p>

<p>Philippe Morin, the co-founder of Red Barrels, said they look forward to what players have to say in the latest installment of the Outlast games. <q>We're eager to see and hear how Reagents (players) perform in Murkoff's experimental program during The Outlast Trials Early Access,</q> said Morin.</p>

<p>Similar to its predecessors, players in The Outlast Trials do not have any combat skills. They can only hide or escape from enemies from a first-person perspective. The new game, however, introduces a co-op mode, giving players the choice to form a team.</p>

<p><q>This time, (players) can choose to play on (their) own or with friends in a team of up to four people,</q> the developers added. According to Morin, The Outlast Trials is the most ambitious project yet for Red Barrels. <q>The Outlast Trials is our most challenging production and we'll continue developing the game until we feel the game delivers our initial vision,</q> he said.</p>

<p>The Montreal-based indie game development team first announced its development in 2017. At that time, they had just launched Outlast 2.</p>

<p>They dropped several teaser videos and a closed beta test in the following years. Last March, they announced releasing an Early Access version in May. Red Barrels said players can expect more content in the coming days.</p>

<p><q>Feedback from players throughout Early Access is key to us delivering a more refined and balanced game,</q> added Morin.</p>

<p>The Outlast Trials is a Cold War-themed first-person psychological horror survival game. Players take on the role of test subjects whom the Murkoff Corporation has kidnapped and subjected to several psychiatric experiments. To escape the facility and avoid the horrors that lurk within, players must use stealth, cunning, and whatever resources they can find.</p>

<p>Based on the <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/1304930" title="The Outlast Trials on Steam">game's Steam page</a>, the developers have yet to set a specific timeline for the game's Early Access mode. However, they hoped to release the full version within the year.</p>

<p>Red Barrels also planned to port The Outlast Trials to consoles. However, the studio has yet to reveal more information about it.</p>
