Season 4.0 of The Outlast Trials Introduces NEW Prime Asset - Conjoined Killers Otto & Arora Kress

A gory new cinematic trailer and the latest Outlast comic introduce the sadistic siblings, arriving with Season 4 - Project Diarchy - on July 15th!

MONTRÉAL, Québec — Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 — What God has joined together, let no man rend asunder… and so it is with the Kress Siblings, Otto and Arora, twins conjoined at birth due to their in utero exposure to toxic chemicals, and the latest Prime Asset to arrive to The Outlast Trials! Firstborns to the wealthy industrial magnate Anton Kress, the twins suffered even before birth, as their mother was exposed to the poisonous fumes of Anton’s experiments and died bringing her children into the world. Reviled by their peers and blamed by their father for their mother’s death, the Kress Siblings nevertheless found their sick pleasures wherever they could… and will soon be unleashed to terrorize the Reagents of The Outlast Trials. Season 4.0—Project Diarchy—arrives on July 15th, along with additional content updates, QoL improvements, and more!



Otto and Arora are two halves of the same sadistic whole: the former a one time politician who now wields a chainsaw instead of words, and the latter a brilliant chemist capable of devising toxic weapons far deadlier than anything her late father ever crafted. Boasting two brains for their one shared body, Otto & Arora have a complete 360-degree field of vision, making it nearly impossible to escape their gaze. Brother Otto will fall upon his victims in a bloody melee frenzy, while Sister Arora can catch players unaware by lobbing poison flasks for a ranged attack. Together, they comprise the most difficult Prime Asset the Reagents have yet faced.

The twins skulk the halls of the newest Trial Environment, The Shopping Mall. Having prepared their preferred puppet candidate, they’ve now organized a rally for the all-but-predetermined election, to be held at the American wonder of the world: the shopping mall. This bastion to capitalism typically draws people from all walks of life… which is precisely why Otto & Arora have roped off the area for VIPs only. With a long-held disdain for the poor that has since devolved into pure, unadulterated disgust, the twins only want the wealthy elites in attendance at their rally—especially those eager to contribute donations. After all, as a prestigious, invite-only event, you can't get in unless you spend, spend, spend… earning yourself a seat at the political spectacle of the decade.

Descend into the disturbing origin story of Otto & Arora by exploring the latest issue of the Murkoff Collections comic book series, now available for free on the official Red Barrels website. As well, players can expect a host of other features coming in S4 of The Outlast Trials, including a new environment, a new Trial and MK-Challenges, as well as the reintroduction of the Rebirth system, now with added options for team play. More details and full patch notes will arrive with the update on July 15th!

Following the Season 4 launch this Summer, The Outlast Trials sets its sights on Fall 2025 for the next major update — just in time for Halloween, including a Limited-Time Event and a new game mode!
