The latest trailer from Gamescom 2022 is no different, as it cuts through a variety of the titular trials we can expect to face as we undergo “involuntary re-education”. It’s a lot of very brief flashes sewn together, but there are some moving mannequins and one very scary nun between all of the gore. As this is an Outlast game, we also see a few night vision shots, as you’ll no doubt need to scramble about in the dark if you want to survive.

There’s still no final release date for The Outlast Trials just yet, but if you fancy some scares over Halloween, then make sure you get into that closed beta onSteam. Stay tuned to theofficial developer sitefor more info in the coming months, too.
