Despite the promise to release the game in Q1 of 2017, the game's release date was further pushed to Q2 2017. However, due to complications during development, the game was delayed to Q1 2017 on August 1. A gameplay demo was then released at both PAX East and E3 2016 on April 22 and June 15 respectively, with a release slated for Fall 2016. Shortly after the release and popularity of Outlast, Red Barrels announced the sequel. Unfortunately, Blake and Lynn get separated in a helicopter crash, and Blake has to find his wife while traveling through a village inhabited by a sect that believes the end of days is upon them. It is the sequel to the 2013 video game Outlast, and features a journalist named Blake Langermann, along with his wife Lynn, roaming the Arizona desert to explore the murder of a pregnant woman, Jane Doe. Outlast 2 (stylized as OU⸸LASTII) is a first-person survival horror video game developed and published by Red Barrels.
