Feed the Flames in Season 4.1 of The Outlast Trials

Deep Burn brings scorching horror to The Outlast Trials, with fire-filled Events, Challenges & more!

MONTRÉAL, Québec — Tuesday, Sept. 9th, 2025 — Pyromaniacs, rejoice: Season 4.1 of The Outlast Trials, Deep Burn, is ready to ignite! What better way to prepare for a world in flames than the Deep Burn Variator: a hellish trial filled with fiery hazards like fire mines, flame throwers, and an increased presence of the Pitcher: Murkoff’s resident and unhinged pyromaniac. But fear not, as the devoted staff of the facility have conveniently left water cans scattered throughout the Trial, to keep Reagents from getting too overheated.



Along with the fiery new hazards introduced in Season 4.1, two new MK-Challenges will soon be available to all Reagents, each offering their own unique form of civic engagement. In Traffick the Product, players invade the territory of sinister mafioso Franco in order to flood his streets with a new experimental opioid devised by Murkoff, creating lifelong customers and stimulating the local economy. Meanwhile, Disrupt the Neighborhood aims to break down the barriers that divide us—literally—to encourage intrusion from outsiders. After all, without any fences, we’re all free to be each other’s neighbor.

Reagents participating in this latest update can spend their hard-earned event tokens on cosmetics from the Deep Burn Catalog, exclusive to this limited-time event. Be sure to use the tokens while you can—once the event concludes, all unspent tokens will be lost.
And for those with an interest in delving ever deeper into the lore of the world of Outlast, Evidence Documents are now organized by thematics, easing entry into the twisted mind of the Murkoff Corporation. Season 4.1 of The Outlast Trials also brings a multitude of enhancements, fixes, and QoL improvements, including a rebalancing of Prime Assets Otto & Arora Kess, as well as a smoother difficulty curve for Escalation Therapy from levels 1 to 20.

You can find the patch notes in full here, and stay tuned for more updates coming hot on the heels of Deep Burn—just in time for Halloween, and featuring a new game mode! And be sure to follow the ongoing dark mysteries of The Outlast Trials universe on Red Barrels' Website, Instagram, Bluesky, X (Twitter), Discord, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.

The Outlast Trials is the third installment in Red Barrels’ critically acclaimed psychological horror series. In 4-player co-op, complete escape room-style puzzles while avoiding the twisted victims of Murkoff’s experiments using a combination of stealth, speed, and teamwork. In a unique blend of survival horror and online escape room, The Outlast Trials challenges players with Aperture Science-style tests that Jigsaw himself would shudder at.

Set in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, human guinea pigs are involuntarily recruited to test advanced methods of mind control in their nightmare facility.
