New DLC Announced For Outlast – “Whistleblower”

Red Barrels has announced the first DLC for its 1st-person survival-horror game Outlast.

Entitled Whistleblower, the new DLC will take place before the events of Outlast, and cast players as the person who originally tipped off Outlast’s protagonist Miles Upshur to the strange goings-on at Mount Massive Asylum. Red Barrels confirmed to IGN that the story will shed light on many of the events leading up to the story of Outlast:

“Explore the asylum minutes before the slaughter, then experience the outbreak firsthand. If you can survive, you’ll find new environments and meet terrifying new characters in another quest to uncover truths which were never meant to be revealed.”

Currently, there is no word yet on a release date, but it’s likely that the new DLC will be a unbelievably scary affair. Outlast is available now on PC, and will eventually come to PS4 as well. What do you think? Excited for more Outlast? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
