A new event is ticking off for The Outlast Trials with some new bombshells dropping out there in The Outlast Trials
If you are looking to have another explosive event just before the Halloween season, then we need to direct your attention to the new event popping off in The Outlast Trials. A new event that will let us go through many of the challenges again and collect some new items along the way as Red Barrels sets up for something else down the line. A new event that will turn us into literal walking time bombs in The Outlast Trials, as if things were not already dire in the first place in the MK-Challenges. As long as you are willing to join back into the game during the time of September 10th to October 4th on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
To add some extra tension to some of the challenges in The Outlast Trials, this new event will have us running through all the trials again but with a countdown on our chests that will lead to us all exploding if we are not in that amount of time. Thankfully, it looks like there are items in the areas that will allow us to add on more time to these clocks while also needing to run from the big killers and all of the other poisons in the maps. As if things were not already difficult enough, things are getting timed now. All so we can unlock a slew of event tokens in The Outlast Trials based on us just finishing the trials. Sadly, not based on how much time we have left when finishing the trials. That would have been a nice extra bonus for all of the suffering, but this is not that kind of game out there…
The Outlast Trials — Countdown Limited-Time Event
In a new update released for The Outlast Trials, indie horror studio Red Barrels adds ‘Countdown’, a new limited-time event for its bloody, Saw-like online co-op multiplayer. Program Countdown straps time bombs to each player, forcing them to hunt for time extenders as they complete Trials. If the time runs out, the entire team dies a fiery death, resulting in a failed Trial. Get ready to run for precious time; even if you survive this Trial, remember: time comes for us all. The Outlast Trials is available for purchase on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox stores.

Will you be looking to suffer through all of this in the world of Outlast again or does this ramp the challenge up too much for you? Will the unlocks we get be worth the added stress of all of this or will they be more of the basic kinds? How sparse will the additional time options be out there and will we always be looking at the clock ending too soon? Run on down to the comment section to discuss all of that and everything else that is out there for the game. We are going to keep offering up all that we can for The Outlast Trials, so please keep on checking back for all of that. I have a feeling Halloween will have another massive event and we should see that just after this one ends.
