Needless to say, this game covers seriously mature themes ⸺ don't be a dummy and buy this for your kids! Outlast 2 VR support? The video they sent was not a final representative version of the content in question, which happened to feature an 'implied sexual assault.' Red Barrels later confirmed they didn't need to change any content when the right video was sent, and the game was cleared for release in the Land Down Under. Not at launch, though Red Barrels stated on Twitter that it's something they might not say no to in the future.
With Xbox Scorpio looming on the horizon, could we see Outlast 2 in VR on it at some point later? We hope so. If you loved Outlast and the expansion enough, you could get Outlast, Outlast: Whistleblower and Outlast 2 for $39.99 available for pre-order now. Builds off of the terrifying atmosphere of the previous game, only now with more open areas and more subtle scares.
Shawn Baichoo once again voices the main character, Blake, only this time, he actually talks.Outlast: Whistleblower is a piece of DLC for Outlast, and is the second game in the Outlast series. Great voice acting, especially from the aforementioned Baichoo himself, who gives a great performance as Blake while also selling his pain and fear quite well.

'Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world - including Miles - at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife. You can now actually record video, which Blake will comment on, and use your camera's microphone to find out where an enemy is, even if you can't see them. You can also swim now, though it will tire Blake out if you do it too much. Now, instead of being trapped in a single mostly closed area, you're trapped in a vast and mostly open mountain commune, and being that it's mostly night, that makes it even more scary in a way as an enemy could be very close without you able to easily see them. While many would expect an overtly religious cult, there's also a cult of satanists who are even worse in some ways even if they oppose the others. There's also traumatic memories from Blake and Lynn's past which haunt Blake throughout and lead to a legitimately saddening backstory. You can now explore plenty of different buildings throughout the commune, there's plenty of non-linear areas for you to explore for collectibles or supplies.Though caution is advised in doing so as some doors may be traps with an enemy that insta-kills you behind it. Unlike the first game, where you heal automatically, you need bandages in order to heal now, which makes the game a bit more scary as it's yet another resource you need to look for in order to survive.Sullivan Knoth has written out his own profane scriptures, which you can find throughout the world and give interesting and very disturbing insight into the beliefs of the fanatics.It deals with some more intense themes like rape, forced abortions, and child molestation, and does so without ever showing any of them and clearly villifying all.For better or worse, the game is a little longer than the predecessor.The story might feel like a step down by comparison to the first, which had a more simple story and knew it.This story isn't terrible by any means (see WIR #5), but it can feel needlessly complicated at times and a little cliche. Outlast 2 has an interesting story and ending. Plenty of things are never explained, even in the deeper lore. The cutscenes bring up more questions than answers and it’s up to the player to fill in the blanks and connect the dots. It’s one of those stories where you have to read between the lines, where the little details matter far more than the bigger picture. A rather confusing ending that's very open-ended.Some may like that, others may find it quite frustrating, as even with the deeper context of the story, it doesn't make much sense. Like the first one, it can feel like it relies on graphic violence a bit too much, even if it is a little toned down by comparison (only a little, though).The flashback scenes, though they do help to flesh out Blake and likeable new character Jessica, are placed in kind of weird spots in the story and can get a little tedious after a while considering how the two different areas clash with one another (even if they're both scary in their own ways).The section on a raft is pretty tedious as the controls are quite stiff and the movement is quite slow until you get in the rapids.
