‘The Outlast Trials’ Gets a Major Update in “Project Lupara” on July 16 [Trailer]

Red Barrels has a new killer on the way for players of The Outlast Trials as part “Project Lupara”, the first major update for the game since its launch. Launching on July 16th, for the first time in the Outlast trilogy, players will face a gun-wielding villain, as well as a new map, a new game mode, a new player ability and more.

The new Ex-Pop coming to The Outlast Trials as part of Project Lupara is the mother’s-milk-loving mobster, Franco Barbi. The perverse son of New Orleans mafia don Salvatore Barbi, Franco is driven by craven entitlement, greed, and psychosexual violence fueled by his impotence and insecurities. A freakish ‘big baby’, Franco is obsessed with his ‘Pacifier’,  the titular shotgun he sucks on when he’s not using it to blow someone to smithereens. Alongside the addition of Franco is the new map “The Docks,” where the new Trials take place.

Barbi’s introduction will coincide with a new time-limited event the first four weeks following the update. The Bambino Special Event will see
Franco Barbi appearing in certain Trials and MK-Challenges, alongside Mother Gooseberry or Sergeant Coyle, and in Trials and MK-Challenges set in The Docks map. The event will have two parts (each split into two weeks) where Franco will appear in different Trials.

The update also includes new Trials & MK Challenges, as well as a new game mode, Escalation Therapy. In this new mode, Reagents partake in a new rogue-lite game mode pitting them against a never-ending series of randomized Trials with variators until they succumb to a Permadeath and begin anew. Reagents will begin with nothing and build their loadouts from Murkoff’s limited selection of upgrades. The longer you survive, the bigger the reward.

Meanwhile, here are the new Trials as part of Project Lupara:

• Poison the Medicine: Reagents will come face-to-face with Franco in the new story Trial, “Poison the Medicine”, which will transport players to “The Docks,” a brand-new map and Barbi’s home turf.
• Mansion Escape: Return to the final Trial, Farewell Mansion, for a completely new experience; Mansion Escapes now evolves in difficulty as you release Reagents. Witness an all-new Ending when you succeed.
• Fuel the Release: Justice requires power, and power requires fuel. Carry the fuel, power the court, and secure your liberty.
• Teach the Police Officer: Defining laws creates crime; replace the precinct’s training film with Murkoff’s reels and make future crimes your own.

The Outlast Trials is available now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
