Philippe Morin, co-founder of Red Barrels Studio, thanked their amazing fan base for the unwavering support. "Ever since we released Outlast in 2013, a physical version has been one of the top requests, so we're obviously thrilled to finally give people the entire series in one bundle of terror," he said, according to the same IGN report.
Set in Arizona, "Outlast 2" players will put themselves in the shoes of Blake Langermann, a cameraman and investigative journalist who is investigating the "impossible murder" case of a pregnant woman who is only known as Jane Doe.
Langermann is joined by his wife, Lyn, who is also an investigative journalist and they are bound to uncover horrible things, including profound corruption in the system. Together, the couple takes risks to uncover more stories and follow several trails of clues just to solve the mystery.
The first "Outlast" game also revolved around an investigative journalist named Miles Upshur, but his case involved an investigation of a psychiatric hospital called Mount Massive Asylum which is reportedly full of dangerous patients.
Although released in 2013, the PS4 version of the first "Outlast" installment came on Feb. 4, 2014. The game was received well, with an average rating of 80 over 100 from MetaCritic. The game also earned the "Most Likely to Make You Faint" title honor from the Electronic Entertainment Expo event in 2013.
