The Outlast Trials Season 7 is live: Welcome to the Prison Farm
Turn yourself in and suffer rehabilitation. Today, Red Barrels proudly opens the gates to Project Boneyard, Season 7 of The Outlast Trials, available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Sergeant Leland Coyle is back, the Prison Farm is open for intake, and Murkoff would like to remind all Reagents that freedom is not a right. It is a reward.
Starting today, this free update is available for all current The Outlast Trials owners. In Project Boneyard, Reagents are thrown into Murkoff’s latest correctional nightmare, where authority is currency, punishment is policy, and riot makes way for revenge.
Sergeant Leland Coyle, returns in a prominent new role for the season’s new Trial, Locksock the Warden. Sporting a brand new hat and an old appetite for control, Coyle is ready to inject more of his “cruel and unusual” style into the prison population.
NEW ENVIRONMENT: PRISON FARM
The American prison is a meat grinder, taking in sociopaths and criminals and extruding functioning members of society. But strict routine, severe conditioning, and close quarters create a crucible for power dynamics built on violence, contraband, and flesh.
Turn yourself in and suffer rehabilitation.
NEW TRIAL: LOCKSOCK THE WARDEN
You are freedom. The indefinable promise that keeps prisoners at the grindstone that turns authority to profit and back again. Don't let false authority stand in the way of real capital.
Kill the Warden, and we will let you out.
NEW MK-CHALLENGE: BRIBE THE JUDGES
You are the master, whose property is the purpose of the law. Salary reminds enforcement that their monopoly of violence only exists for your monopoly of capital. Collect the bribes, pay the judges, and we will let you out.
NEW MK: CANCEL THE BROADCAST
You are the butcher, who reminds the sheep the ultimate path of all flesh, no matter the bounty of wealth or the wealth of spirit. Sabotage the broadcast, defile the faithful with blood, and we will let you out.
NEW EX-POP: THE BITER
Project Boneyard introduces The Biter, a new Ex-Pop enemy stalking the Prison Farm.
Arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, Reagents should approach with caution, as their augmented legs gift them with unexpected velocity.
DELUXE CATALOG: PROJECT BONEYARD
A new Deluxe Catalog is now available with the launch of Project Boneyard, filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for Reagents looking to express themselves under Murkoff-approved supervision. The Deluxe Catalog is permanently available. Unlock items at whatever pace suits you.
FIRST COMMUNITY EVENT: BLOOD DRIVE
Blood Extractors have been installed in multiple Trial Environments, and Reagents are strongly encouraged to donate generously. Designed as a community-wide event, Blood Drive is Murkoff’s blood supply for an upcoming project. Every contribution helps advance the collective goal. As the community reaches new milestones, additional rewards will be unlocked for all participating Reagents. However, a minimum donation will be required within the trial environment to qualify for claiming event rewards.
Be cooperative. Give until it hurts.
A brand new Catalog is available for the duration of the Blood Drive Limited-Time Event. Spend your Event Tokens to unlock exclusive rewards.
