Red Barrels' spooky first-person horror title Outlast has divulged new information on its first single-player DLC, set to hit PC and PlayStation 4 come April. Starting just before the events of the original game, Outlast: Whistleblower will take players on another horrifying journey through Mount Massive Asylum and into the depths of the human mind as they try to escape from the horrors within.
Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world - including Miles - at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son in Boulder thanks to strict security protocols, Weylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Weylon's anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive's rotten core.
The team also revealed through their
new blog post that although Whistleblower tells the story that led to Outlast, it will actually stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum's story, so be ready for anything.
Screenshots and gameplay are still bare, but the developer has revealed a new concept art piece that is sure to chill your bones, which you can check out below. Outlast: Whistleblower will be available sometime in April for PC and PlayStation 4.
