Outlast 2 shifts away from the cramped and claustrophobic corridors of Mount Massive Asylum for a more open rural environment in the Supai Region of the Coconino county region of Arizona. Outlast 2 follows our protagonist Blake Langermann, an investigative journalist who alongside his wife, Lynn investigate the mysterious murder of a young, pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe.  Then, on October 23, 2014, Red Barrels Studio announced a sequel to the pant shitting horrors at Mount Massive Asylum.
