For very first time, world of Outlast will be spreading out its branches into multiplayer joined by up to four player. Those who prefer to go solo can also enjoy a more terrifying and traditional horror experience in first-person as well.
Plot premise of the game will be set during Cold War era where player characters are kept as some test subjects for some unknown experiments and narrative will probably set around an escape from some facility with fellow captives.

In promotional image, characters are shown to be wearing some sort of night vision goggles and some may try to draw similarity of those devices with VR headsets but official sources confirmed that they are not making a VR game.
Taking series direction towards co-op was a conscious decision to create a distinct experience for everyone. Multiplayer will eliminate the sense of isolation while playing alone but some nightmarish threats would have to haunt players down then.
