Rumors of an escaped Reagent are spreading through the Sinyala facility. Though Murkoff may deny it, you will encounter Amelia Collier, the runaway Reagent hiding in the Trials during "Project Breach".

Though concerns about Amelia’s escape have reached Easterman, he and his team continue to push forward, exploring the psychosexual effects Franco has had on Reagents by releasing him into a new Story Trial, “Pleasure the Prosecutor”. Set within the latest Outlast Trials environment, DOWNTOWN, players will be tasked with turning Franco’s devious cabaret against itself. And for Reagents who have caught wind of the escape, Murkoff has even more new content to keep you too busy to concern yourself with such nonsense. Daydreaming about your old life is prohibited. Productivity and collaboration are key.

• Pleasure the Prosecutor (Trial): “He who controls what justice desires defines the contours of law. Satiate the prosecutor's more discerning pleasures.“
  
• Reunite the Family (MK-Challenge): “The nuclear family is the societal ideal. Release the orphan from the shackles of the state and reunite him with mother and father.“
  
• Deface the Futtermans (MK-Challenge): “Childhood memories are the stagnation that impede your growth. Put away the childish things that clutter your mind.“

The new Deluxe Catalog “Project Breach” is now available.

• The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for your own self expression.
  
• Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog and other Deluxe Catalog.
  
• Acquire Stamps by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the Stamps to acquired Deluxe Catalog items.
  
• As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.

“Winter Kills is an experiment in hostile, unstable environments rich in both punishment and rewards. Survivors of Winter Kills will reap the bounty of true suffering.”

• For the return of Winter Kills in The Outlast Trials, we've made all last year's rewards available again for all players, along with a variety of new rewards.
  
• Experience the event by playing Trials in the program “Winter Kills”.
  
• Earn Event Tokens by completing Trials and Winter Kills tasks.
  
• Use Event Tokens to unlock items of the Winter Kills catalog.

• COLLECT THE GIFTS: Collect all the gifts in the Trial to earn extra rewards.
  
• COLD SNAP: The Trial environment is sporadically filled with piercing cold air. Hide to survive.
  
• FROST MINES: Gas mines have been replaced with frost mines.

• Part 1 will take place from December 10 - December 24
  
• Part 2 will take place from December 24 - January 7

• A new Limited-Time Catalog is available for the duration of the event.
  
• Player can spend their acquired event tokens in the time limited catalog to unlock exclusive cosmetics.
  
• Earn Event Tokens and use them in the Event Catalog to unlock cosmetics.
  
• Once the event ends, the catalog will be removed, and any unspent tokens will be lost.

• A new Ex-Pop foe has joined the Trials, ready to stir up chaos!
  
• The Pitcher occasionally appears in the Trials, armed with fiery tricks to keep you on your toes.
  
• This cunning enemy wields a powerful ranged weapon, hurling Molotov Cocktails that explode on impact, creating dangerous zones of fire.
  
• Stay sharp and keep your distance—if you get too close, the Pitcher will unleash its fiery breath to roast you alive!

Noakes has been hard at work in recent months, crafting a brand-new rig for all Reagents to utilize.

• Introducing the Jammer Rig, a versatile tool designed to disable electronic devices, unlock padlocked containers and doors, and much more.
  
• Some of the Jammer Rig upgrades include PACEMAKER, which allows players to revive themselves or a teammate once per Trial, and REWIRE which turns enemy mines against them.
  
• Perfect for engineers and strategic players, the Jammer Rig focuses on disrupting the Trial environment while securing extra loot for you and your teammates.
  
• The new Jammer Rig is now available in Escalation Therapy.

Dorris has secured fresh contraband for Reagents deemed worthy. Unlock these powerful new Amps to gain an edge in the Trials—if you’ve earned them.

• SHORT CIRCUIT (Tool): Using a battery also restores some of the Rig's cooldown.
  
• EVASIVE MANEUVER (Skill): Escape enemy grasp instantly and reduce incoming damage.
  
• BANDAGES EXPERT (Medicine): Bandages are faster to apply, and can be used twice.

All the new Amps are now available in Escalation Therapy.
The mirror menu in your personal room has been upgraded, offering deeper customization. Customization is now divided into three distinct categories: Appearance, Identification, and Behavior.

• Icon Frames: Collect and equip unique frames for your player icon to stand out.
  
• Terminal Poses: Choose from various poses to showcase in the Terminal menu.
  
• Podium Poses: Equip emotes to play during the results screen at the end of a Trial.

Experience a new intriguing fresh ending after releasing your Reagent.

The maximum therapy level has been increased to 75.

The Psychosis state has been improved.

• Tentacle Spawns: Strange, eerie tentacles now appear in the Trials while in the Psychosis state.
  
• Psychosis Reset: All new sources of psychosis gas now reset the Psychosis duration.
  
• Enemy Engagement: Enemies will actively target players in Psychosis state on Psychosurgery difficulty and during high escalation stages.
  
• Enhanced Challenge: Skinnerman is tougher than ever on Intensive and Psychosurgery difficulties.

Reworked Escalation Therapy flow:

• Stage 10: Now features a Story Trial at Intensive difficulty (previously Psychosurgery).
  
• Stage 11+: From this point onward, difficulty is Psychosurgery and variators will always include ULTRA.

Reworked ULTRA Variator:

• INCREASED THREAT: Maximum population of brutal enemies.
  
• NO INTEL: Assignment details are absent from the Trial.
  
• NO PLAYER NAMES: Player names are hidden.
  
• EXTREME PSYCHOSIS: Keep your sanity because psychosis state is out of control.
  
• LIMITED ITEMS: Amount of items found in the Trial is very limited.

Dev Comment: The ULTRA variator has been reworked to provide greater variety in variator combinations from Stage 11 and beyond. Previously, it consistently paired with exotic variators (e.g., Bomb), limiting diversity. This change aims to keep the experience fresh and challenging at high stages.

• You can now purchase current and future DLC packs directly from within the game.
  
• Head over to the Terminal to browse the full list of DLC packs currently available.

https://node2.projectplanet.cn/@store.steampowered.com/app/3307910/The_Outlast_Trials__Unholy_Night_Pack/

• Stamps will no longer reset each season, allowing players to unlock all current and future Deluxe Catalogs with their accumulated Stamps. However, this does not apply to limited-time catalogs, which will remain available only until the associated event concludes.
  
• New Padlocked Doors now appear in the Trials, blocking access between rooms. These doors can be unlocked using lockpicks or the new Jammer Rig.
  
• The delay between the exhaustion penalty and sprint release time for stamina regeneration has been balanced.
  
• A stamina system has been added to enhance gameplay of the Tennis Minigame.
  
• Some Genesis and Reagent tasks have been updated to incorporate new content. Recompleting these tasks will grant the reward once more.
  
• Added all new Trials and MK-Challenges into Escalation Therapy.
  
• Double Doses (Amp): The syringe icon now updates to reflect the remaining doses.
  
• Boosters and Masterkey can no longer be carried over from one Trial to the next in Escalation Therapy.
  
• Event Badges are now displayed over the cosmetics in the Mirror Menu to illustrate their origin.
  
• A new input option is now available to sort the displayed cosmetics in the Mirror Menu.
  
• Reworked the locked containers in Trials:
  • Locked Medical Containers will always contain a Large Medicine and Bandages.
    
  • Locked Technical Containers will always contain a Rig Recharger and Full Battery.
• Fixed a bug where “Complete 10 Trials in a Single Run” of Escalation Therapy Tasks was not working correctly.

-The RB Team

Greetings Fellow Reagents,

Rumors of an escapee have started to spread inside the Sinyala facility amongst Reagents and staff alike. Murkoff has initially denied the claims, but during “Project Breach”, players will meet Amelia Collier, an escaped Reagent living within the walls of the Trials.

Project Breach is OUT NOW read the full patch notes here: https://node2.projectplanet.cn/@steamcommunity.com/games/1304930/announcements/detail/526454678387426016


Project Breach will introduce Amelia’s story, along with a brand new trial, a new map, a new enemy Ex-Pop, a new Rig: the Jammer, a new release ending, and more when it launches December 10 at 10am EDT, on all platforms!

“Reagents within The Outlast Trials have always been forced to be solely reactive, barely staying alive. Run, hide, survive, repeat. It’s this hopeless cycle that successfully strips participants of their morality and agency. With this latest update, we wanted to offer Reagents some form of solace, a chance at a collaborative revolt. Amelia is the lightning rod that will hopefully bring this plan to life, working behind the scenes on a mass exodus. She’ll do anything to tilt the scales, so long as she doesn’t get captured trying.” -Jonathan Morrell, Narrative Designer

• Tasks are divided into two parts, with each task rewarding Event Tokens, Stamps, and a random Geister item.
  
• Complete Part 1 of the Geister tasks to unlock Part 2.

• Brace yourself, because the jump scares when your sanity isn't fully intact have been... enhanced.
