Wernicke, you have to remember that The Outlast Trials is supposed to be a smaller game too small to be considered Outlast 3, so it’s acceptable for it not to be connected to Murkoff.īut given the connection between Outlast and Outlast 2, it’s only fitting that Outlast 3 will also be connected to the other two games by the main antagonist of both games, the Murkoff Corporation. And while my prediction of The Outlast Trials includes a pre-Murkoff Dr. The events of Outlast, Outlast: Whistleblower, and Outlast 2 happened all because of the Murkoff Corporation. It’s the Murkoff Corporation’s Fault (Again) We can, however, predict some of the things we can expect from Outlast 3. It’s a huge world filled with hours of gameplay, so it’s hard to predict what Red Barrels will have in store for a third sequel. The world of the Outlast games are nothing like, say, Mystery Case Files or any other old or 2D games that are flat. Heck, sometimes I consider Outlast: Whistleblower to be Outlast 2 and Outlast 2 as Outlast 3 because Whistleblower felt like such a good DLC that it could have been a standalone sequel on its own. We can’t really predict a whole lot because of how different Outlast and Outlast 2 are. Wernicke’s test subjects? It’s highly likely, considering they’re called “The Outlast Trials.” But we’re just going to have to wait and see until the game is released – and hopefully in the near future. So, could it be possible that we’re playing as Dr. What that research is isn’t specified, but given that his area of expertise is in intensive dream therapy, it might have something to do with the work he eventually became involved in during the events of Outlast. Before Wernicke ended up working for the Murkoff Corporation, he spent a few decades doing government research for the American government. World War 2 ended in 1945, but the Cold War began two years later. According to the lore in the first Outlast, Wernicke was a German scientist brought to the United States during Operation Paperclip. Set during the Cold War, The Outlast Trials is a multiplayer survival horror game that can have up to four players. This is not Outlast 3, but it supposedly takes place in the same universe as Outlast and Outlast 2, just at an earlier time.īased on Red Barrels’ announcements, the game puts four players in the shoes of tests subjects participating in an unknown experiment.

While still in production as of writing, Red Barrels announced what we can expect from the game.
